Orbital Stabilization of Hybrid Mechanical Systems—A Port‐Hamiltonian Approach

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, we address the problem of stabilizing hybrid periodic orbits in mechanical systems characterized by both continuous and discrete dynamics. We introduce a total energy shaping controller, formulated in the port‐Hamiltonian framework, that guarantees asymptotic orbital stability of a prescribed hybrid periodic orbit.

Linear System Identification and Control of a Low‐Cost High‐Performance Omnidirectional Marine Surface Vehicle for Swarming Applications

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine operations traditionally rely on human intervention, a costly and disruptive method. Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) offer a powerful alternative, capable of operating autonomously, for extended periods, and with various sensors for various missions.

Enhancing Drone Light Shows Performances: Optimal Allocation and Trajectories for Swarm Drone Formations

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drone light shows (DLShows) represent a rapidly growing application of swarm robotics, creating captivating aerial displays through the synchronized flight of hundreds or thousands of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as environmentally friendly and reusable alternatives to traditional pyrotechnics.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Evaluating Pose Estimation Uncertainty From Automatic Point Cloud Registration in Multi‐Sensor Robotic Systems

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The poses derived from automatic point cloud registration between stationary laser scans that occur naturally in robotic multi‐sensor systems operating in stop‐and‐go mode have the potential to greatly improve and aid localization and trajectory estimation.

Force redundancy in parallel manipulators: Theoretical and practical issues

open access: yes, 1998
In contrast to kinematic redundancy (widely studied in literature) in serial manipulators, the natural choice should be force (static) redundancy in parallel manipulators.

The Application of Autonomous Fixed‐Wing Drones in the Sub‐Antarctic Operating Beyond Visual Line of Sight to Enable Large Area, Multi‐Species Population Monitoring in a Changing Environment

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Autonomous fixed‐wing drones operating beyond visual line of sight of the pilot were used to conduct the first aerial, multi‐species baseline reference survey at the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia. Long‐term population monitoring in this remote, challenging environment has historically proved difficult, with terrestrial monitoring generally ...

Spaceborne Distributed Array Processing for Precision Source Localization

open access: yesInternational Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based signals intelligence and spectrum sensing increasingly rely on low‐latency signal localization. However, operational processing chains often remain ground‐based, stressing feeder links and limiting scalability as constellations grow.

A Compact Annular Electrostatic Clutch Joint: Dynamic Response Modeling and Time‐Sharing Control for Underactuated Robots

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Electrostatic clutches offer programmable variable stiffness for multi‐DOF robots, but their continuous motion is usually bottlenecked by spatial constraints and detachment delays. Here, the authors report a compact annular electrostatic clutch joint with a biphasic amplitude‐frequency modulation strategy to rapidly mitigate residual polarization ...
