In this work we aim to explore the concept of using the shift in the center of gravity, which in turn produces roll and pitch moments, to control the attitude of the quadrotor. We propose constructing a UAV with moving masses within each rotor arm. In this paper we show the mathematical equations describing the dynamics of the proposed system, propose a classical PID based control approach and analyze and confirm its stability. Furthermore, we analyze the effectiveness of the proposed controller in a Gazebo based simulation environment. Finally, we build a laboratory testbed that emulates the dynamics of the system and test our proposed control strategy.

The main aim of this paper is to present the analysis of stability regions and tracking performance for the closed-loop system with second-order plant with time-delay and continuous fractional-order PI controller. It is a trial to extend the results and methodology presented in [11] to non-integer order systems. The tracking performance is based on two quality indices IAE and ISE. The tuning method of fractional PI controller is with respect to Hermite-Biehler and Pontryagin Theorems.

The main purpose of this paper, is to analyze the stability of anti-windup compensation impact on tracking performance for a second order plant with time delay and continuous-time PID controller tuned by pole-placement. The paper present results of the research that extends the output from the previous MMAR paper, and is mainly focused on analyzing the stability interplay with open-loop parameters, to show the application limits of the already proposed control law. In the paper, the non-Pade approximation of time delay is used in order to obtain a solution of Diophantine equation. The performance evaluation of the system is based on comparison between integral of absolute and squared tracking errors for system with and without compensation. On the other hand the BIBO stability test of the system is based on computation of the differences between consecutive peaks of possibly diverging output signal. The control system quality is described on the basis of two quality indices in case of stable oscillatory second-order plant with step function reference signal. The main contribution of the paper, is a given rule of thumb that defines the limits of requirements imposed on the dynamics of the closed-loop system with respect to anti-windup compensation scheme applied and modes of the plant and is a natural extension to the results presented before, where the control law has been derived with comments about its performance.

The article presents studies on the estimation quality of a particle filter applied to small multidimensional objects. For the purposes of the article, a new type of network has been proposed, in which each node is associated with one state variable. Based on performed simulations it has been found that particle filter implemented for small systems (1- or 2-dimensional) is a good choice. However, for larger objects Kalman filter may return better results (it depends on the chosen particles number). This is due to the exponential dependence of needed particles number to the object dimension. It has been also observed that the particle filter, in comparison to the Extended Kalman filter, better estimates the state variables which are well metered, and simultaneously worse estimates the state variables which are worse metered. Possible approaches for objects with a greater number of state variables also have been adduced, including the dispersed particle filter.

The article presents studies on the automatic whispery speech recognition. In the performed research a new corpus with whispery speech has been used. It has been checked whether the extended set of articulatory units (allophones have been used instead of phonemes) improves quality of whispery speech recognition. Experimental results show that the small changes in the allophone set may provide better speech recognition quality than using phonemes approach. The authors also made available the trained g2p (grapheme-to-phoneme) model of Polish language for the Sequitur toolkit.

This paper is a continuation of our previous paper under the same topic, MANET testbed using mobile robot technology. In our previous paper, we studied the topic by scrutinizing all the technical aspects and presented it as a technical review. However in this paper, we study the topic and presents it as a critical review that dwells into four aspect, namely (i) purpose, accessibility and scope of testbed facilities, (ii) usability and controllability of robot mobility in t estbed facilities, (iii) repeatability and reproducibility of real mobility in t estbeds, and (iv) tools for MANET implementation, deployment and debugging for experiments. With the wealth of information on the topic provided in this paper, the content of this paper is expected to be a source of reference for MANET researchers who are at a crossroad when selecting the preferred mobile robot technology and approach to suit their own specific needs.

In this paper we present a study of a robotic system that consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a pair of manipulator arms (MMUAV), and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The envisioned application scenario includes autonomous packet transportation, where MMUAV is used for picking/placing packets, while both MMUAV and UGV can be used for packet transportation, with different energy consumption profiles. We propose a reactive method for decentralized task planning and coordination of robots using hierarchical task decomposition based on TAEMS framework. Our approach takes into account low-level motion-planning aspects of the system as well as high-level mission specification, making this a multi-layered system. For low-level planning we use sampling-based planner combined with obstacle-free trajectory generation. Methods are verified in simulations and on an experimental testbed, using 3D Robotics quadcopter and Pioneer 3DX mobile robots with the results showing stability and robustness of the presented methods.

In this paper we present our ongoing efforts to build a heavy lift multirotor platform capable of lifting over 50kg of payload. Such a system requires a paradigm shift in the design of the UAV. Therefore we propose using miniature two stroke internal combustion engines to supply the necessary lift and endurance and combine them with a novel control concept based on the variations of the center of gravity (CoG) of the system. In this paper we present a detailed stability and sensitivity analysis of the proposed control scheme and discuss its underlining effect on the construction design parametrization. We present simulation results from a Gazebo based simulator that confirm the results of our mathematical analysis.
