Event-triggered based state estimation for autonomous operation of an aerial robotic vehicle (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this article the problem of event-triggered (ET) state estimation for autonomous navigation of an aerial vehicle is investigated numerically. The aerial vehicle is considered as a general example of a nonlinear non-Gaussian system for state estima...

Fast, vision-based, line-following schemes for Micro Aerial Vehicles in nuclear environments (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many nuclear power plants are reaching the end of their economic lifetime and the decommissioning of legacy nuclear facilities is an important challenge in the next few decades. Since the radiation level in these facilities is significant, autonomous... Read More about Fast, vision-based, line-following schemes for Micro Aerial Vehicles in nuclear environments.

Robust Intelligent Control of Underactuated Ground- based and Aerial Robots with Matched/Mismatched Uncertainties and Disturbances (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recently, inspired by nature, the evolution of novel materials and fabrication procedures for the design and control of soft-bodied robots have led to deformable actuators that are versatile, power-efficient, compliant, agile, self-healing and intell...

Design and development of a novel controller for robust attitude stabilisation of an unmanned air vehicle for nuclear environments (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study presents two new robust nonlinear control algorithms based on the theory of time-varying sliding mode control (TVSMC) strategy to stabilize the attitude of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for nuclear decommissioning applications. Constant... Read More about Design and development of a novel controller for robust attitude stabilisation of an unmanned air vehicle for nuclear environments.

Design of sliding mode controllers for formation flying along unstable periodic orbits in CR3BP (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recently formation flying along halo orbits near a libration point or simply formation flying in the vicinity of a libration point of the circular-restricted three-body problem (CR3BP) has been studied from the point of view of future missions such a...

Design procedure of chattering attenuation sliding mode attitude control of a satellite system (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study presents a design procedure for a new robust nonlinear control algorithm based on the theory of the terminal sliding mode (TSM) to control the attitude of a satellite system. Since the traditional TSM controllers include a discontinuous fu... Read More about Design procedure of chattering attenuation sliding mode attitude control of a satellite system.
