In this article, we present a control barrier function (CBF)-based control strategy for safe and precise landing of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a moving target. The CBF is time-varying, as it depends on the velocity of the landing platform and captures three crucial safety constraints: (a) collision avoidance with the landing platform, (b) precise vertical descent on a narrow landing platform, and (c) ground clearance throughout the landing maneuver. The proposed CBF’s parameters can be adjusted to set the desired width and height of the descending cone. A quadratic programbased CBF safety filter is designed, which takes a nominal position tracking control input and yields a minimally invasive control input that enforces the safety constraints throughout the landing maneuver. The controller’s feasibility is analyzed and its performance is validated through multiple experiments using a quadrotor UAV and an unmanned ground vehicle.

This paper presents a novel approach to enhance the social interaction capabilities of the ARI humanoid robot using reinforcement learning. We focus on enabling ARI to imitate human attention/gaze behaviour by identifying salient points in dynamic environments, employing the Zero-Shot Transfer technique combined with domain randomisation and generalisation. Our methodology uses the Proximal Policy Optimisation algorithm, training the reinforcement learning agent in a simulated environment to maximise robustness in real-world scenarios. We demonstrated the efficacy of our approach by deploying the trained agent on the ARI humanoid and validating its performance in human-robot interaction scenarios. The results indicated that using the developed model, ARI can successfully identify and respond to salient points, exhibiting human-like attention/gaze behaviours, which is an important step towards acceptability and efficiency in humanrobot interactions. This research contributes to advancing the capabilities of social robots in dynamic and unpredictable environments, highlighting the potential of combining ZeroShot Transfer with domain randomisation and generalisation for robust real-world applications.

In this article, a novel adaptive controller is designed for Euler-Lagrangian systems under predefined time-varying state constraints. The proposed controller could achieve this objective without a priori knowledge of system parameters and, crucially, of state-dependent uncertainties. The closed-loop stability is verified using the Lyapunov method, while the overall efficacy of the proposed scheme is verified using a simulated robotic arm compared to the state of the art.
