Ref No 5904 Robotic manipulators and vehicles: Control, Estimation and Filtering,
Duration: 2017- 2018 . The aim of the project has been to solve control, estimation and filtering problems
in advanced models of robotic manipulators and vehicles. The methods that have been developed are generic
and applicable to a wide range of robotic systems. The methods are of assured stability and of proven robustness
thus confirming the reliable function of robotic manipulators and vehicles under variable
operating conditions, model uncertainty and external disturbances. The following types of
robotic manipulators have been examined: multi-DOF rigid-link robots, manipulators subject to input/output delays,
underactuated robots and redundant manipulators, closed-chain robotic systems, and flexible-link robots. Moreover,
the following types of robotic vehicles are examined: automatic ground vehicles (AGVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),
unmanned surface vessels (USVs) autonomous underwater vessels (AUVs) and various types of cooperating autonomous vehicles.
