In this research, we aim to answer the question: How to combine Closed-Loop State and Input Sensitivity-based with Observability-aware trajectory planning? These possibly op-posite optimization objectives can be used to improve trajectory control tracking and, at the same time, estimation performanc…
In this paper we extend the previously introduced notion of closed-loop state sensitivity by introducing the concept of input sensitivity and by showing how to exploit it in a trajectory optimization framework. This allows to generate an optimal reference trajectory for a robot that minimizes the st…
In this letter, we consider the problem of letting an aerial robot exploiting its contact with the environment in order to enhance its motion possibilities, in a way reminiscent of legged robots exploiting contact forces for locomotion purposes. As a representative and initial case study, we conside
In this paper we propose a novel general method to let a dynamical system fulfil at best a control task when the nominal parameters are not perfectly known. The approach is based on the introduction of the novel concept of closed-loop sensitivity, a quantity that relates parameter variations to devi…
