Robotics
The robotic domain is a vast, interdisciplinary domain that spans across a variety of fields including artificial intelligence, mechatronics, and computer vision. Within this domain, control theory plays a crucial role in interfacing different aspects such as sensing, actuation, and decision making into one cohesive framework.
Constrained Control for Safe Human-Robot Interaction
In preparation forÌýmodern assembly lines where humans will workÌýside-by-side with robots, it is imperative to account for the presence of human collaboratorsÌýwithin the reachable space of the roboticÌýarm. To avoid collisions, this project investigates coordination strategies between theÌýhigh-level guidance layer, which interprets the human's intentions, andÌýthe low-level control layer, which rules theÌýdynamic behaviorÌýof the robotic arm.
