SHERPA Meeting at Passo dello Stelvi

Published on Jul 12, 2013


In this video we tested current ASLATECH state-of-the-art UAV technology for possible employment in search and rescue missions conducted by CAI. Stelvio Pass, located almost at 3000 m, is the perfect location to test the behavior of rotorcrafts at high altitude. An exacopter and a quad-copter are employed in collaboration with CAI to understand advantages and limitations of current technology. The last part of the video shows some aggressive maneuvers with the quadrotor controller by an expert RC-pilot.

A constrained control for vision-based human-following robot - Experimental results

Published on Mar 15, 2016


In this paper we study the problem of constrained control for a skid driven mobile robot in a human-following scenario. The constraints considered in this paper are both on the control input and the state of the system: in fact, the human to be tracked has to remain inside a prescribed field of view, determined by the range of the sensor the mobile robot is equipped with. Moreover, the limited actuation power of the system motivates the control input constraints. We propose a nonlinear control architecture which takes into account these limitations and guarantees that the error remains bounded, provided that the initial state of the human with respect to the mobile robot and its speed are bounded.

A constrained control for Kinect-based human-following robot - Experimental result

Published on Sep 15, 2016


This paper studies application of Kinect camera in a human robot interaction problem. We propose a mathematical framework to cope with a control of non linear robotic system taking into account limitations on both Kinec and robot actuators. in fact, the human to be tracked has to remain inside a prescribed field of view, determined by the range of the sensor the mobile
robot is equipped with. Moreover, the limited actuation power of the system constitutes the control input constraints. This work proposes a nonlinear control that takes into account these
limitations and guarantees the boundedness of the tracking error, provided that the initial position of the human with respect to the mobile robot belongs to a certain compact set
and that its speed is bounded.
