Challenges and solutions for sensor-based incremental nonlinear control of hydraulically actuated parallel robots

Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion has shown increases in performance and robustness to model mismatches and uncertainties in hydraulic control as compared to other model-based controllers. This work will expand on hydraulic Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion force control and discuss three of its challenges and accompanying solutions....

Guidance, Navigation and Control System Design of Envisat Active Debris Removal

Space debris is becoming one of the major risks to be suffered by operating and future space missions. Recent studies show that the number of potentially hazardous uncontrolled orbital bodies is growing with time, increasing the probability of impact with operational satellites. To counteract this problem, several studies are being suggested to...
