This paper proposes an event-triggered attitude controller design method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under cyber attacks. Versatile UAVs are capable of transmitting the measurement or receiving control signals through network channels. In the controller design for such UAVs, it is required to consider two distinctive features. The first one is that the strategy of updating the control signal is important for saving the limited energy consumption. The other one is that the UAVs are vulnerably exposed to threats of malicious attacks through network channels. For enhanced energy efficiency and improved stability, the event-triggered mechanism (ETM) and the attitude controller are simultaneously designed. By utilizing Lyapunov- Krasovskii functionals (LKFs), the sufficient conditions for the co-design are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). For a 3-degrees of freedom (DOF) quadcopter system, the simulation results are presented to validate the proposed attitude control method.

Soft robotics is a branch of robotics that aims to emulate nature by exploring so-called soft materials. By utilizing the embedded softness, various degrees of dexterity in grasping can be achieved without the need for advanced controllers. However, when compared to nature (and modern rigid robots), comparable levels of dexterity and object manipulation are still lacking. For example, when considering the elephant's trunk, whole-body manipulation and sensory feedback are explored to achieve simultaneous, robust, and adaptive grasping. In this work, we incorporate closed-loop control into soft robotic grasping. Using passivity-based control, we achieve whole-body grasping for planar, slender, soft manipulators with torque actuation. Our approach also accounts for the underactuation present in these systems and adapts the grasping strategy accordingly. Furthermore, we explore damping injection without velocity measurements to enhance the attenuation of undesired oscillatory motion. The performance of the closed-loop system is evaluated through simulation and experiments.
control barrier functions (CBFs) are widely used in safety-critical controllers. However, constructing a valid CBF is challenging, especially under nonlinear or non-convex constraints and for high relative degree syst...

This article describes the author’s design of the Mecanum wheel mobile robots (MWR), which can be used as a test platform for experimental research into the development and implementation of autonomous systems. The paper contains a literature review of the subject matter and describes the mechanical actuator subsystem and electronic and information subsystem of the mobile robot solution. The robot was navigated using a minicomputer equipped with a Jetson Nano chip. The robot’s navigation system was implemented using the ROS environment through high-level software. Software modularity is desirable in circuits intended for research and rapid prototyping. This allows for easier modification and maintenance. The microcontroller has been implemented with a DC drive control system and incremental encoder support to estimate robot position using odometry. The project utilizes the Jetson Nano for processing data from distance sensors and monitoring the robot’s performance. The mobile platform is equipped with a RGB-D camera (Microsoft Kinect 360), the robot can use this to perform 3D mapping of the environment. A LiDAR sensor is used to collect data from a two-dimensional space. Laboratory tests were carried out to test the validity of the solutions adopted in the design of the Mecanum-wheeled mobile robot’s navigation system configuration.
