Robotic Polarimetry of Blazars
The motivation of this thesis was the study of radio-loud, active galaxies. These galaxies house relativistic jets at their centres, powered by accretion onto a super massive black hole. The focus was on the optical flux and polarised emission produced by these powerful jets. An automated pipeline …

Planning Robotic Cutting Operations
Classical planning and most PDDL variants operate on the assumption that the number and types of objects present in the environment are known at the time of initialization and neither can nor do change during plan execution. However, there are many domains in which it is helpful and necessary to be …

Prediction learning in robotic manipulation
This thesis addresses an important problem in robotic manipulation, which is the ability to predict how objects behave under manipulative actions. This ability is useful for planning of object manipulations. Physics simulators can be used to do this, but they model many kinds of object interactions …

Ensemble control of robotic systems
… approximate steering algorithm for two classical robotic systems---the nonholonomic unicycle and the plate-ball manipulator---in the presence of model perturbation that scales all inputs by an unknown but bounded constant. The basic idea is to maintain the set of all possible configurations and to …
