Applying hierarchical and adaptive control to coordinating simple robots

Creator:

Knudson, Matthew D.

Abstract:

Coordinating multiple robots to achieve a complex task requires solving two distinct control problems: the high-level control problem of ensuring that each robot aims to perform a useful task (e.g., coordination) and the low-level control problem of ensuring that each robot actually performs the correct actions to achieve its task...

Masters Thesis
Learning based methods applied to the MAV control problem

Creator:

Salichon, Max

Abstract:

This thesis addresses Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) control by leveraging learning based techniques to improve robustness of the control system. Applying classical control methods to MAVs is a difficult process due to the complexity of the control laws with fast and highly non-linear dynamics. These methods are mostly based on...

Dissertation
Navigation and coordination of autonomous mobile robots with limited resources

Creator:

Knudson, Matthew D.

Abstract:

The use of autonomous robots in complex exploration tasks is rapidly increasing. Indeed, robots can provide speed and cost effectiveness in many tasks, as well as allow operation in environments that are hostile to humans. In this dissertation we: 1) provide two adaptive navigation algorithms; 2) develop a coordination mechanism;...
