Design of Robotic Fish for Aquatic Environment Monitoring

Human assisted robotic team campaigns for aquatic monitoring

Large-scale environmental sensing, e.g., understanding microbial processes in an aquatic ecosystem, requires coordination across a multidisciplinary team of experts working closely with

Matlab Design Environment for Robotic Manipulators

An automated modelling and control design environment for serial manipulators has been implemented in Matlab/Simulink. This development was motivated by the need for a fast and insightful modelling tool, given that currently available modelling environments are not well suited for control design. The manipulator configuration is defined within a graphical user interface and the corresponding ma...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Biologically Inspired Behaviour Design for Autonomous Robotic Fish

Behaviour-based approach plays a key role for mobile robots to operate safely in unknown or dynamically changing environments. We have developed a hybrid control architecture for our autonomous robotic fish that consists of three layers: cognitive, behaviour and swim pattern. In this paper, we describe some main design issues of the behaviour layer, which is the centre of the layered control ar...
