An indirect numerical method for a time-optimal state-constrained control problem in a steady two-dimensional fluid flow

open access: yes, 2018
This article concerns the problem of computing solutions to state-constrained optimal control problems whose trajectory is affected by a flow field. This general mathematical framework is particularly pertinent to the requirements underlying the control ...

UTact: Underwater Vision‐Based Tactile Sensor with Geometry Reconstruction and Contact Force Estimation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Embedded flexible sensing technologies advance underwater soft robotics, yet most systems still suffer from hysteresis and limited perceptiveness. Instead, vision‐based tactile sensors provide reliable and rapid feedback essential for complex underwater tasks.

AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE ROBUST CONTROL [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Conference on Electrical Engineering, 2006
ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) control performanceunder uncertainty using two different methods, linear quadratic (LQ) servo with commandfollowing and sliding mode control (SMC). In spite of the uncertainty in our evaluations ofthe hydrodynamic forces, it is fortunate that the use of feedback control is able to ...

AUV/ASC cooperative survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper we describe a solution to perform autonomous surveys taking advantage of a cooperative multivehicle setup. In the proposed configuration, an ASC provides –through an USBL- absolute positioning and communications to an AUV.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.
