Hessian Estimation Based Adaptive and Cooperative Extremum Localization
(University of Waterloo, 2021-01-13)The thesis is on Hessian estimation based adaptive and cooperative extremum localization via a single mobile sensory agent as well as a network of multiple such agents. First, we develop a continuous time adaptive extremum ... -
Implementation of Decentralized Formation Control on Multi-Quadrotor Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-04-23)We present real-time autonomous implementations of a practical distributed formation control scheme for a multi-quadrotor system for two different cases: parameters of linearized dynamics are exactly known, and uncertain ... -
Multiple-Model Robust Adaptive Vehicle Motion Control
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-28)An improvement in active safety control systems has become necessary to assist drivers in unfavorable driving conditions. In these conditions, the dynamic of the vehicle shows rather different respond to driver command. ... -
Practical Coordination of Multi-Vehicle Systems in Formation
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-14)This thesis considers the cooperation and coordination of multi vehicle systems cohesively in order to keep the formation geometry and provide the string stability. We first present the modeling of aerial and road vehicles ... -
Reinforcement Learning of Dynamic Collaborative Driving
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-21)Dynamic Collaborative Driving is the concept of decentralized multi-vehicle automated driving where vehicles form dynamic local area networks within which information is shared to build a dynamic data representation of the ... -
Robust and Adaptive Control Methods for Small Aerial Vehicles
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-26)Recent advances in sensor and microcomputer technology and in control and aeroydynamics theories has made small unmanned aerial vehicles a reality. The small size, low cost and manoueverbility of these systems has positioned ... -
Smart Exercise Adaptive Control of a Three Degree of Freedom Upper-limb Manipulator Robot
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-15)An adaptive velocity field controller for robotic manipulators is proposed in this thesis. The control objective is to cause the user to exercise in a manner that optimizes a criterion related to the user’s mechanical ... -
Synchronized Motion Control of Dual Robot Manipulator Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-14)Dual manipulator systems are capable of accomplishing a variety of tasks, such as manipulating large and heavy objects and assembling parts, that might be impossible for single manipulators. These collaborative tasks ...
