Robust by Co-Design: CAD-to-Control Evolutionary Optimization of Jet-Powered Humanoids

RA-L 2026

This letter presents a co-design and optimization framework for improving robustness in an aerial humanoid equipped with variable turbine configurations. The approach integrates CAD-based modeling, domain randomization, and multi-objective evolutionary optimization to jointly explore turbine placeme

Online Non-linear Centroidal MPC for Humanoid Robots Payload Carrying with Contact-Stable Force Parametrization

ICRA 2023poster

In this paper we consider the problem of allowing a humanoid robot that is subject to a persistent disturbance, in the form of a payload-carrying task, to follow given planned footsteps. To solve this problem, we combine an online nonlinear centroidal Model Predictive Controller - MPC with a contact…

Momentum-Based Extended Kalman Filter for Thrust Estimation on Flying Multibody Robots

RA-L 2022

Effective control design of flying vehicles requires a reliable estimation of the propellers’ thrust forces to secure a successful flight. Direct measurements of thrust forces, however, are seldom available in practice and on-line thrust estimation usually follows from the application of fusion algo

Nonlinear Model Identification and Observer Design for Thrust Estimation of Small-scale Turbojet Engines

ICRA 2022poster

Jet-powered vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) drones require precise thrust estimation to ensure adequate stability margins and robust maneuvering. Small-scale turbojets have become good candidates for powering heavy aerial drones. However, due to limited instrumentation available in these turboje…

Modeling, Identification and Control of Model Jet Engines for Jet Powered Robotics

RA-L 2020

The paper contributes towards the modeling, identification, and control of model jet engines. We propose a nonlinear, second order model in order to capture the model jet engines governing dynamics. The model structure is identified by applying sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics, and then t
