Safe, Fast, and Efficient Distributed Receding Horizon Constrained Control of Aerial Robot Swarms

RA-L 2022

This letter proposes a reactive, safe, and high-performance distributed constrained control law for ensuring safety in multi-UAV systems. The UAVs possess higher-order nonlinear dynamics and are subject to actuation and collision avoidance constraints. To address the case of real-time multi-UAV coll

Constrained Control of Robotic Manipulators Using the Explicit Reference Governor

IROS 2018poster

Robotic manipulators that are intended to interact with humans in their operating region are systems that need formal safety guarantees. Current solutions cannot handle both input and state constraints, have difficulties handling nonconvex constraints, or are computationally too expensive. To tackle…

Design of a collaborative architecture for human-robot assembly tasks

IROS 2017poster

Collaborative robots, the so-called cobots, that work together with the human, are becoming more and more popular in the industrial world. An example of an application where these robots are useful is the assembly task. In this case, the human and the robot complement each other. On one side, the hu…
