VDM-based navigation for Delta-wing UAVs: Models, calibration, implementation
Autonomous navigation of small UAVs is typically based on the integration of inertial navigation systems (INS) together with global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). However, GNSS signals can face various forms of interference affecting their continuous ...
EPFL2024Distributed Predictive Formation Control of Autonomous Rotary-Wing Micro Aerial Vehicles
This doctoral thesis navigates the complex landscape of motion coordination and formation control within teams of rotary-wing Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). Prompted by the intricate demands of real-world applications such as search and rescue or surveillan ...
EPFL2024Heading for the Abyss: Control Strategies for Exploiting Swinging of a Descending Tethered Aerial Robot
Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Max Mirko Polzin, Frank Centamori
The use of aerial vehicles for exploration and data collection has the potential to significantly aid environmental monitoring in environments which are dangerous and hard to navigate. However, within these environments navigation can often be restricted b ...
2023Preliminary Design of a Lunar Reconnaissance Drone
Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer
In this report, a preliminary design study of a compact lunar reconnaissance drone module which will assist exploration rovers is presented. It is designed to assist future exploratory rover missions in difficult environments such as PSRs or extreme topogr ...
2022Adaptive Task-Space Force Control for Humanoid-to-Human Assistance
We envision a humanoid robot to serve as a source of additional motion-support forces in assistance for frail persons. In this context, we present a control strategy for a humanoid to adaptively regulate its assistive force contribution. First, we identify ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2021A point vortex transportation model for yawed wind turbine wakes
Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong
In this study, stereo particle imaging velocimetry measurements are performed at multiple streamwise locations behind a yawed wind turbine to reveal the formation mechanisms of the counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP), and a point vortex transportation (PVT) ...
