Mobile robot control and navigation in public spaces
Public service robots have been more and more popular due to their social and economical influences. This thesis investigated two issues about control and navigation of public service robots deployed in crowded environments such as airports and shopping malls. Our solutions facilitates the synergy …

Model Abstraction in Dynamical Systems: Application to Mobile Robot Control
To reduce complexity of system analysis and control design, simplified models that capture the behavior of interest in the original system can be obtained. These simplified models, called abstractions, can be analyzed more easily than the original complex model. Hierarchies of consistent …

Robotic control: real-time architectures and multi-flock flocking
Autonomous robotics has become a popular research topic in the recent years. This dissertation deals with two areas of autonomous robotic research. The first area covered is mobile robot control architectures. The second area covered is robot flocking. The dissertation first asks the question: …

Reliable goal-directed reactive control of autonomous mobile robots
This dissertation demonstrates that effective control of autonomous mobile robots in real-world environments can be achieved by combining reactive and deliberative components into an integrated architecture. The reactive component allows the robot to respond to contingencies in real time. …

Reinforcement Learning Control for Mobile Robot Parking with Safety Constraints
… that combines reinforcement learning (RL) with control barrier function (CBF)-based methods to achieve safe autonomous vehicle control, focusing on parking with obstacle avoidance. We apply Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) methods for continuous control and evaluate policies across …

Design of a decentralized model reference adaptive controller for a mobile robot
Control systems for robotic manipulators have been investigated for several years. The difficulty in designing a controller for a robotic manipulator is due to the highly nonlinear, time-varying dynamics. Closed-loop constant gain controllers are effective when the robot is expected to perform a …
