Abstract:

      As the modern robots have shown great potential in helping human being with important and dangerous tasks, how to enhance the autonomy of these robots is critical. Online motion planning and control enables the robots to plan their path online and follow the path afterwards; thus increasing their autonomy. However, the existing motion planning algorithms, such as optimal control techniques, can be significantly affected by model uncertainty as well as disturbances. It is important to enhance the robustness of these algorithms.

      In addition, as the structures of modern flying robots are getting increasingly complex, it also poses a great challenge to the control systems. The controller has to follow the reference given by the operator and guarantee the safety at the same time. In this respective, robust and adaptive control as well as fault-tolerant control is particularly important. However, these algorithms are also faced with great challenges from model uncertainties and disturbances.
