Comparing closed-loop control of drug infusion using MPC and PID (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Setati, T., Perold, W., Fourie, P., & Withey, D. (2022). Comparing closed-loop control of drug infusion using MPC and PID. In Proceedings of the 15th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies - BIODEVICES (126-133). https://doi.org/10.5220/0010783700003123

Continuous intravenous drug delivery can require careful dosage and the maintenance of consistent blood plasma concentration levels. Here, the closed-loop control of drug concentration in simulated patients’ bloodstreams was investigated. During the...

An OctoMap-based 3D CostMap (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Withey, D. J., & Matebese, B. T. (2022). An OctoMap-based 3D CostMap. In 2021 Rapid Product Development Association of South Africa - Robotics and Mechatronics - Pattern Recognition Association of South Africa (RAPDASA-RobMech-PRASA). https://doi.org/10.1109/RAPDASA-RobMech-PRAS53819.2021.9829092

The development of OctoMap created an efficient, discrete, three-dimensional (3D) mapping framework that has been very useful in autonomous robotics for representing occupied and free space in the robot's environment. This paper presents an OctoMap-b... Read More about An OctoMap-based 3D CostMap.
