We present a novel gripper design for autonomous aerial transport of ferrous objects with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The proposed design uses permanent magnets for grasping, and a novel dual-impulsive release mechanism, for achieving drop. The gripper can simultaneously lift up to four objects of arbitrary shape, in fully autonomous mode, with a 100% rate of successful drops. We optimize the system subject to realistic constraints, such as the simplicity of design and its sturdiness to aerial maneuvers, payload limits for multi-rotor UAVs, reliability of autonomous grasping irrespective of the environment of operation, active power consumption of the gripper, and its comparison with the existing technologies. We describe the design concepts, and the hardware, and perform extensive experiments in both indoor and outdoor environments, with two multi-rotor configurations. Several results, showcasing superior performance of the proposed system are provided as well.
We employ recent control design algorithms for delay systems to address the mixed sensitivity design of a dynamic controller for multiple degree of freedom systems interconnected with an inverse signal shaper. A delay...

In this paper our first achievements are reported on application of input command shapers for control of quadcopters with suspended load. Simulation results are presented for a free 2DoF quadcopter. The flight control system, consisting of two PID controllers and of a static nonlinearity mapping the propellers thrusts to particular degrees of freedom, is augmented by input shapers in the feedforward path. Properties of the resulting control law are presented and further research proposals are elaborated.
In this paper, a multi-class and multi-objective combined ramp metering and routing control strategy is proposed to improve performance in freeway traffic networks. The control strategy is of the multi-class type, i.e...

This paper investigates bilateral control of nonlinear teleoperation with time varying communication delays for two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) robot manipulators with antagonistic bi-articular muscles. First, a brief summary of dynamics of a 2DOF robot manipulator with antagonistic bi-articular muscles is given. Next, we propose bilateral control of nonlinear teleoperation which consists of a master bi-articular manipulator and a slave one. Stability analysis of the closed-loop system is provided by using a Lyapunov-based analysis. The proposed control law for a bi-articular manipulator tele-operation system does not induce instability of force reflecting teleoperators in the presence of time varying communication delays. Finally, simulation results are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control law.

This paper introduces the fuzzy-PD controller, a novel approach of controlling a quadcopter, which is based on the Euler-Newton equations. The proposed fuzzy-PD includes a PD controller and a fuzzy system that adjusts the PD controller gains for stabilizing the quadcopter. It is an approach that applies a fuzzy concept to control a quadcopter. The proposed approach has been simulated and analyzed in terms of performance. The results showed that the fuzzy-PD controller outperforms the classical PD control.

This paper proposes an omni-directional power-assist-modular(PAM) mobile robot for total nursing service system. We focus on verifying a kinematic model of dual-offset active wheel casters for PAM. To control holonomic mobile robotics system, we approached the kinematic model in the aspect of coordinate transformation, and obtained driving velocity and steering velocity from the Cartesian coordinate. Based on the kinematic model, we designed dual-offset active wheel casters with a differential gear mechanism and applied them into PAM. As a result, PAM can move easily at a confined area such as a patient's room of the hospital.
