The recently proposed DREM-based adaptive state observer (DREMBAO) design approach assumes that there exists transformation of the system model into a cascade form, linearly dependent on parameters vector and depends only on measured input and output. This paper proposes an extension to relax that assumption and extend the approach to state affine systems. Like the original version of DREMBAO, the proposed approach ensures global convergence of an estimation error to zero under a relatively weak condition. The advantages of the extension are demonstrated in the example with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. In contrast to the original approach, the proposed extension allows taking into account viscous friction in the motor and obtaining a simplified load torque estimation algorithm. Moreover, finite-time convergence to zero is ensured for the load torque and speed estimation error under a weak interval excitation.

This paper considers the formation control of single-integrator modeled agents with unknown disturbances. Two cases are investigated. In the first case, the connected agents are assumed to be able to measure relative displacements between each other. The control law for this case is designed to ensure a stable formation with a predefined rejection performance for disturbances. In the second case, additionally, one agent is assumed to be able to sense its position in a global coordinate system. The control law for this case is designed to ensure the stability of agents’ positions with respect to predefined desired positions. Also, a rejection performance for disturbances is ensured. Simulation results are provided to support the theoretical analysis for the proposed control algorithms.

This paper presents our approach to intercepting a faster intruder UAV, inspired by the MBZIRC 2020 Challenge 1. By utilizing a priori knowledge of the shape of the intruder's trajectory, we can calculate an interception point. Target tracking is based on image processing by a YOLOv3 Tiny convolutional neural network, combined with depth calculation using a gimbal-mounted ZED Mini stereo camera. We use RGB and depth data from the camera, devising a noise-reducing histogram-filter to extract the target's 3D position. Obtained 3D measurements of target's position are used to calculate the position, orientation, and size of a figure-eight shaped trajectory, which we approximate using a Bernoulli lemniscate. Once the approximation is deemed sufficiently precise, as measured by the distance between observations and estimate, we calculate an interception point to position the interceptor UAV directly on the intruder's path. Our method, which we have significantly improved based on the experience gathered during the MBZIRC competition, has been validated in simulation and through field experiments. Our results confirm that we have developed an efficient, visual-perception module that can extract information describing the intruder UAV's motion with precision sufficient to support interception planning. In a majority of our simulated encounters, we can track and intercept a target that moves 30% faster than the interceptor. Corresponding tests in an unstructured environment yielded 9 out of 12 successful results.

In this paper we present our hardware design and control approaches for a mobile manipulation platform used in Challenge 2 of the MBZIRC 2020 competition. In this challenge, a team of UAVs and a single UGV collaborate in an autonomous, wall-building scenario, motivated by construction automation and large-scale robotic 3D printing. The robots must be able, autonomously, to detect, manipulate, and transport bricks in an unstructured, outdoor environment. Our control approach is based on a state machine that dictates which controllers are active at each stage of the Challenge. In the first stage our UGV uses visual servoing and local controllers to approach the target object without considering its orientation. The second stage consists of detecting the object's global pose using OpenCV-based processing of RGB-D image and point-cloud data, and calculating an alignment goal within a global map. The map is built with Google Cartographer and is based on onboard LIDAR, IMU, and GPS data. Motion control in the second stage is realized using the ROS Move Base package with Time-Elastic Band trajectory optimization. Visual servo algorithms guide the vehicle in local object-approach movement and the arm in manipulating bricks. To ensure a stable grasp of the brick's magnetic patch, we developed a passively-compliant, electromagnetic gripper with tactile feedback. Our fully-autonomous UGV performed well in Challenge 2 and in post-competition evaluations of its brick pick-and-place algorithms.

This paper proposes an adaptive trajectory tracking control scheme for differentially driven robots in the state of unknown kinematic and dynamic model parameters and uncertain external disturbances. The main idea is to design an adaptive controller to reduce the influence of unknown dynamic parameters and unknown parameters of the kinematic model. A kinematic controller is first designed to generate virtual velocities as reference inputs for dynamic controlsystems. The kinematic controller is then designed so that the actual velocity tracks the virtual velocity asymptotically. The robot can reach the expected speed and let the attitude error converge quickly. This approach enables the robot to quickly follow the desired trajectory. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is proved by MATLAB simulation.

In this paper, the existing problems of non-destructive testing of defects in the surface and subsurface coating layers of complex profile products are considered. The main factors influencing the choice of the scanning scheme are determined. For the implementation of non-destructive testing, several scanning schemes were proposed, which were analyzed in order to determine the necessary trajectory and step of movement of the transducer relative to the surface of a complex profile product. As a result, an optimal scanning scheme was selected.

This paper addresses the problem of adaptive output regulation of a minimum-phase MIMO LTI system in the presence of un-modeled (fast) input dynamics. The adoption of a post-processing tunable internal model makes it possible to implement standard methods for the analysis of two-time-scale systems. The proposed adaptation law guarantees, under suitable hypotheses, convergence to zero of the regulation error as well as of the parameter estimation error.
