Nonlinear and Geometric Controllers for Rigid Body Vehicles

Akhtar, Adeel (University of Waterloo, 2018-10-18)

In this thesis we investigate the motion control problem for a class of vehicles C V , which includes satellites, quadrotors, underwater vehicles, and tailsitters. Given a globally represented model of C V , and a curve, ...
Towards High Speed Aerial Tracking of Agile Targets

Rizwan, Yassir (University of Waterloo, 2012-01-17)

In order to provide a novel perspective for videography of high speed sporting events, a highly capable trajectory tracking control methodology is developed for a custom designed Kadet Senior Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). ...
Tunable Permittivity Sensors

Ahmed, Alaaeldin (University of Waterloo, 2021-09-02)

This thesis presents a novel electric permittivity sensor based on Bleustein- Gulyaev (BG) waves; waves that propagate along the surface of shear-poled piezoelectric materials. BG waves couple electromagnetic and acoustic ...
