AERIAL-CORE: AI-Powered Aerial Robots for Inspection and Maintenance of Electrical Power Infrastructures
Anibal Ollero, Alejandro Suarez, Christos Papaioannidis +27
Large-scale infrastructures are prone to deterioration due to age, environmental influences, and heavy usage. Ensuring their safety through regular inspections and maintenance is c…
Ergonomic Collaboration between Humans and Robots: An Energy-Aware Signal Temporal Logic Perspective
Giuseppe Silano, Amr Afifi, Martin Saska +1
This paper presents a method for designing energy-aware collaboration tasks between humans and robots, and generating corresponding trajectories to carry out those tasks. The metho…
EigenMPC: An Eigenmanifold-Inspired Model-Predictive Control Framework for Exciting Efficient Oscillations in Mechanical Systems
Andre Coelho, Alin Albu-Schaeffer, Arne Sachtler +4
This paper proposes a Nonlinear Model-Predictive Control (NMPC) method capable of finding and converging to energy-efficient regular oscillations, which require no control action t…
Control of over-redundant cooperative manipulation via sampled communication
Enrica Rossi, Marco Tognon, Ruggero Carli +2
In this work we consider the problem of mobile robots that need to manipulate/transport an object via cables or robotic arms. We consider the scenario where the number of manipulat…
From Tracking to Robust Maneuver Regulation: an Easy-to-Design Approach for VTOL Aerial Robots
Sara Spedicato, Antonio Franchi, Giuseppe Notarstefano
In this paper we present a maneuver regulation scheme for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) micro aerial vehicles (MAV). Differently from standard trajectory tracking, maneuver…
