As Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) navigate through dynamic and constantly changing environments, it is crucial that they take into account the impact of their actions on the decisions of others for safe and efficient interaction with humans. In doing so, they need to anticipate how humans will behave in different situations based on their intentions....

Mobile robots are getting more common in warehouses, distribution centers and factories, where they are used to boost productivity. At the same time, they are moving into the everyday world, where they need to operate in uncontrolled and cluttered environments. In order to extend the set of tasks that a robot can autonomously accomplish in such...

Nowadays, machine learning (ML) methods rapidly evolve for their use in model-based control applications. Model-based control requires an accurate model description of the dynamical system to reassure the performance of the controller. Conventionally, this model description is retrieved from first-principles modelling which can be problematic if...

Ongoing research in autonomous driving currently focuses on creating new applications for autonomous vehicles (AV) and connected autonomous vehicles (CAV). Specifically, motion planning and control solutions are being developed based on the combination of Artificial Potential Functions (APF) with economic Model Predictive Control (eMPC). These...

To safely deploy legged robots in the real world, it is necessary to provide them with the ability to reliably detect unexpected contacts and accurately estimate the corresponding contact force. Therefore, a collision detection, isolation, and identification pipeline is proposed for a quadrupedal manipulator. An approach based on band-pass...

Research and development of motion control in the field of autonomous driving is significantly increasing nowadays. Model predictive control (MPC) is one of the most powerful and practical tools currently available. It is important to select the parameters of the MPC, such as weights, in a way so that different control objectives can be met...

With the performance of current motion planning methods being highly dependent on the quality of the perception system, robust 3D multi-object detection and tracking are vital for autonomous driving applications. Despite all the advancements in 2D and 3D object detectors, robust tracking of pedestrians in dense scenarios is still a challenging...

Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) provide a novel solution for the robots to localise and navigate an unknown environment. Initial SLAM research focused mainly on the indoor environment, assuming the background to be primarily static. In contrast, the real world has dynamic interactions that restrict the implementation of SLAM to...

Brachytherapy (BT) is an essential component in the treatment of cervical cancer as it allows for locally delivering a high dose to the tumour with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues and organs at risk (OARs). However, in advanced cervical cancer patients commercially available BT applicators are particularly ill-adapted and therefore result...

The use of distributed multi-agent formation control for non-holonomic mobile robots shows great promise in practical environments. In this thesis, a Robot Operating System (ROS) package is developed in which various formation control algorithms are implemented for use on a group of skid-steer drive mobile robots. These formation control...

This thesis is focused on protecting sensitive data in optimization-based control methods. We propose a novel Privacy-preserving Model Predictive Controller (PMPC) where multiple agents are controlled by an untrusted external coordinator. By using the Paillier additively Homomorphic Encryption (HE) scheme, our PMPC allows the coordinator to...
