Abstract:

<p> In this dissertation, we present novel solutions to cooperative control of autonomous multi-agent network topologies pertaining to the area of hostile target tracking by multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The present work assumes an undirected graph comprising point-mass UAVs with time-varying communication topology among agents. The level of information sharing ability among agents in a multi-agent network, i.e. the <i>network connectivity,</i> plays pivotal role in group dynamics. A neighborhood information based decentralized controller is proposed in order to drive UAVs into a s

Abstract:

A big challenge regarding the development of autonomous vehicles is how to handle complex situations. If an autonomous vehicle ends up in a situation where it cannot make a decision on its own it will cause the car to stop, unable to continue driving. For these situations, human intervention is required. By making it possible to control the car remotely there is no need for an actual human in the car. Instead, a human operator can remotely control one or several cars from a distance. The purpose of this project was to identify such complex situations, evaluate remote control options and implem

Abstract:

This thesis makes a number of new contributions to control and sensing for unmanned vehicles. I begin by developing a non-linear simulation of a small unmanned helicopter and then proceed to develop new algorithms for control and sensing using the simulation. The work is field-tested in successful flight trials of biologically inspired vision and neural network control for an unstable rotorcraft. The techniques are more robust and more easily implemented on a small flying vehicle than previously attempted methods.¶ Experiments from biology suggest that the sensing of image motion or optic flo

Abstract:

Sensor networks are being used in several emerging applications not even imagined some years ago due to advances in sensing, computing, and communication techniques. However, these advances also pose various challenges that must be faced. One important challenge is related to the autonomous capability needed to setup and adapt the networks, which decentralizes the control of the network, saving communication and energy resources. Middleware technology helps in addressing this kind of problem, but there is still a need for additional solutions, particularly considering dynamic changes in users'

Carefree handling refers to the ability of a pilot to operate an aircraft without the need to continuously monitor aircraft operating limits. At the heart of all carefree handling or maneuvering systems, also referred to as envelope protection systems, are algorithms and methods for predicting future limit violations. Recently, envelope protection methods that have gained more acceptance, translate limit proximity information to its equivalent in the control channel. Envelope protection algorithms either use very small prediction horizon or are static methods with no capability to adapt to cha

The goal of Evolutionary Robotics (ER) is the development of automatic processes for the synthesis of robot control systems using evolutionary computation.

Self-adaptive systems have limited time to adjust their configurations whenever their adaptation goals, i.e., quality requirements, are violated due to some runtime uncertainties.

Existing formal analysis approaches find the best adaptation option by analyzing the entire adaptation space. However, exhaustive analysis requires time and resources and is therefore only efficient when the adaptation

Abstract:

This thesis extends the use of neural-network-based model reference adaptive control to systems that occur as cascades. In general, these systems are not feedback linearizable. The approach taken is that of approximate feedback linearization of upper subsystems whilst treating the lower-subsystem states as virtual actuators. Similarly, lower-subsystems are also feedback linearized. Typically, approximate inverses are used for linearization purposes. Model error arising from the use of an approximate inverse is minimized using a neural-network as an adaptive element. Incorrect adaptation due to

Abstract:

Ce travail aborde le problème de l’autorité de contrôle partagée entre les conducteurs et système de conduite autonome sans retour haptique utilisant la fusion des entrées de conduite. Le développement d’une autorité de contrôle partagée est divisé en différentes étapes : cadre de contrôle partagé, évaluation des facteurs de conduite, prévision du comportement de conduite, processus de fusion, etc. La résolution des conflits est la stratégie de haut niveau introduite dans le cadre permettant de réaliser la fusion. Les entrées de conduite sont évaluées en fonction de différents facteurs tels qu

Abstract:

The work presented herein focuses on the design of distributed autonomous controllers for collective behaviour of Micro-unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MAVs). Two alternative approaches to this topic are introduced: one based upon the Evolutionary Robotics (ER) paradigm, the other one upon flocking principles. Three computer simulators have been developed in order to carry out the required experiments, all of them having their focus on the modelling of fixed-wing aircraft flight dynamics. The employment of fixed-wing aircraft rather than the omni-directional robots typically employed in collective r

Abstract:

This thesis proposes an intelligent multiple-controller framework for complex systems that incorporates a fuzzy logic based switching and tuning supervisor along with a neural network based generalized learning model (GLM). The framework is designed for adaptive control of both Single-Input Single-Output (SISO) and Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) complex systems. The proposed methodology provides the designer with an automated choice of using either: a conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, or a PID structure based (simultaneous) Pole and Zero Placement controller.
