The placement of wind turbines in wind farms is economically beneficial to the industry. Consequently, the wake generated by the upstream turbines introduces interactions with downstream turbines that significantly affect power generation. However, it is common practice to control the individual turbines to operate at their optimal settings and...

For increasing the safety of quadcopters the development of recovery control algorithms is crucial. A common cause of quadcopter crashes is collisions. To validate recovery control algorithms on collisions, the quadcopter has to reach the post-collision state. <br/>For this, the principle of 'endpoint control' is introduced, bringing the...

Creating autonomous Micro Aerial Vehicles for executing complex missions poses various challenges, including safe navigation in the presence of external wind disturbances. Most current navigation methods handle external wind disturbances through real-time estimation and rejection algorithms in the control stage, but lack safety guarantees in...

Soft robots have the potential to accelerate robotiza- tion in areas that are complex and impractical for hard robots. The use of soft materials results in a safe and flexible design that is unattainable for hard robots. However, this attribute results in the need for new control approaches and strategies. Hybrid controllers are a relative...

The potential impact of a grand unified theory of the brain on the robotics community might be immense, as it might hold the key to the general artificial intelligence. Such a theory might make revolutionary leaps in robot intelligence by improving the quality of our lives. The last two decades have witnessed the rise of one such brain theory -...

Intelligent manufacturing has become increasingly important in the food packaging industry due to the growing demand for enhanced productivity and flexibility while minimizing waste and lead times. This work explores the integration of such manufacturing in automated secondary robotic food packaging solutions that transfer food products into...

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) can solve a lot of problems related to traffic safety, comfort and congestion. While the sensors used by these vehicles are getting cheaper, more accurate, and software is improving, the first completely automated vehicle does not exist yet. When AVs start gradually driving on the roads, there will be a mixed traffic...

Surfaces that induce slip at the wall have been shown to reduce skin friction drag in the turbulent regime. While superhydrophobic and liquid-infused surfaces are capable of drag reduction in turbulent hydrodynamic flows, neither would be feasible in aerodynamic applications due to the added roughness and the minuscule slip lengths created by...

Navigation systems in an Autonomous Vehicles (AV) can be divided into two parts: a path planning block which takes in the environmental data and rules to design a collision-free obstacle and a vehicle control and tracking block which generates actuator inputs for the AV to follow the reference path generated by the path planning block. Each task...

Effectively controlling and exploiting the natural dynamics of Articulated Soft Robots for energy-efficient motions remains challenging. In literature, the problem is often split in two; in energy-efficient motion planning and structure-preserving control, where the focus is on one, and the other is largely disregarded. This work aims to unify...

Hybrid technology can significantly reduce fuel consumption and emission for vessels that have high power demand peaks followed by long periods of low loading. Hybrid technology refers to powertrain layouts that consist of hybrid propulsion and/or hybrid power supply. Advanced energy management strategies (EMS) are required to make optimal use...

Increasing delays and congestion reported in many aviation sectors indicate that the current centralised operational model is rapidly approaching saturation levels. Air Traffic Control (ATC) system is not expected to keep pace with the ever-increasing demand for air transportation. Its capacity is still limited by the available controllers, and...

Input qubit control signals from an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) operating at room temperature undergo linear dynamical distortions as it traverses various electrical components on the control line connecting to the quantum device. <br/>If uncompensated for, such distortions can have detrimental effects on gate performance, affecting...

Without us realizing it, solutions for safety and security are present all around us. However, everyone has undoubtedly also experienced how inconvenient some safety and security measures can be. For example, think about security checks at the airport, the need to wear a bicycle helmet, or being asked to perform 2-factor authentication to log...

An effective distribution of flight control commands over many aircraft actuators (engines, control surfaces, flaps, etc.) can be achieved with constrained optimisation. Active-Set methods solve these problems efficiently, but their computational time requirements are still prohibitive for aircraft with many actuators or slower digital flight...

Control of a helicopter with a deployed dipping sound navigation and ranging (SONAR) is no trivial task due to the complex dynamics of the suspension cable. The cable can change shape, which influences the effect of water, wind and the motion of the helicopter itself. To control such a system, a control method is needed that can cope with these...

Event-Triggered Control (ETC) is a control method where the controller is only updated when necessary. The control inputs are kept fixed until a state-dependent event triggers their re-computation. The triggering condition is designed to guarantee the stability and desired performance of the control system. This prevents the excessive use of...

An Organ-on-a-Chip (OoC) is a microfluidic device that mimics an organ function on a chip. The goal of the OoC technology is to create disease models of various organs and use them to minimise animal testing. One of the important parameters to maintain the cells/tissues on the OoC is the temperature, typically at 37 °C. Usually, cell culture...

This paper presents a train robust control method to optimize train operation based on the concept virtual coupling on train platoon. This approach is inspired by the recent development of platoon control for autonomous vehicles, and it is hoped that this platoon control can be applied to railway transportation. We use a decentralized model...
