This letter deals with the problem of multiple robots working together to explore and gather at the global maximum of the unknown field. Given noisy sensor measurements obtained at the location of robots with no prior knowledge about the environmental map, Gaussian process regression can be an effic
This letter presents real-time optimization algorithms on trajectory generation and control for a multi-rotor with a suspended load. Since the load is suspended through a cable without any actuator, movement of the load must be controlled via maneuvers of the multi-rotor, which brings about difficul
This study addresses an operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a network environment where there is time-varying network delay. The network delay entails undesirable effects on the stability of the UAV control system due to delayed state feedback and outdated control input. Although several…
This paper presents planning and control algorithms for a multi-rotor with a suspended load. The suspended load cannot be controlled easily by the multi-rotor due to severe dynamic coupling between them. Difficulties are exacerbated by under-actuated, highly nonlinear nature of multi-rotor dynamics.…
