Drones, Field and Space Robotics

Aerial robots

We design and validate novel mechanisms for drones which can be used in manipulation, exploration and transportation tasks. Details coming.

Dynamics of space robots

We explore modelling techniques for space robotic systems, including satellite control, assembly of spacecrafts and zero-gravity dynamics. Details coming.

Teleoperation of mobile robots

We develop control algorithms and interface for remotely operated mobile robots. This includes development of control command mapping techniques to generate appropriate robot's actions based on the input from a human-operator (via joystick or gesture based input interfaces).
