In this paper, an adaptive second order nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control is proposed for the tracking problem of a teleoperation system. A robust control law is developed to achieve high precision tracking and strong robustness against parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, and time-varying delay. Meanwhile, through involving the discontinuous function into the time derivative of the control input, the proposed control scheme eliminates the chattering phenomenon and reduces the amplitude of the control effort. Furthermore, an adaptive tuning law is derived to avoid the prior knowledge of the upper bound of the compound disturbances, which is more efficient for practical applications. The stability of the system is proved using the Lyapunov theory.

This paper presents a serial chain hinge support, a rigid yet flexible structure that improves the mechanical performance and robustness of soft-fingered grippers. Gravity can reduce the integrity of soft fingers in horizontal approach, resulting in lower maximum payload caused by a large deflection of fingers. To substantiate our claim we performed multiple experiments on the payload and deflection of the SofIA gripper under both horizontal and vertical approaches. In addition, we show that this reinforcement does not impede the original compliant behavior of the gripper, maintaining the original kinematic model functionality. Also, we showcase the proprioceptive and exteroceptive capabilities for two opposing manipulation problems: grasping small and large objects. Finally, we validated the improved SofIA gripper in agricultural and everyday activities.

We propose a new approach to visual perception for relative localization of agents within large-scale swarms of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Inspired by biological perception utilized by schools of sardines, swarms of bees, and other large groups of animals capable of moving in a decentralized yet coherent manner, our method does not rely on detecting individual neighbors by each agent and estimating their relative position, but rather we propose to regress a neighbor density over distance. This allows for a more accurate distance estimation as well as better scalability with respect to the number of neighbors. Additionally, a novel swarm control algorithm is proposed to make it compatible with the new relative localization method. We provide a thorough evaluation of the presented methods and demonstrate that the regressing approach to distance estimation is more robust to varying relative pose of the targets and that it is suitable to be used as the main source of relative localization for swarm stabilization.
