Trajectory generation for multiple mobile sensors estimating the wind field

Multi-agent wake estimation

Dec. 15, 2020

Our work on wind field estimation continues with a multi-agent scenawhere multiple mobile sensors communicate with each other to identify the model parameters of the incoming wind. Each agent can only take measurements in its own section of the wind farm and can only communicate with each neighbors. As time...

Constrained control of a robotic manipulator experiment

ERG for Robotic Manipulators

Nov. 2, 2020

This video, titled "The Explicit Reference Governor for Real-Time Safe Control of a Robotic Manipulator" was presented at the 2020 IROS Workshop: Bringing constraint-based robot programming to real-world applications . These experimental results showcase the interest in implementing an Explicit Reference Governor for real-time constratined control of robotic manipulators and...

Hike Day 2020

Aug. 17, 2020

Who's up for a socially distanced hike to the Indian Peaks? Between Covid-19 and the wildfires, I think we could all use a little bit of human interaction. On Thursday, August 20th the ROCC Lab will be hitting the Blue Lakes Trail bright and early to avoid the crowds (and...

COVID 19 update

March 13, 2020

Dear all, following university guidelines, the ROCC Lab will be moving to the cloud. All weekly research meetings will be held via Zoom, and the Control Systems Laboratory will transition to a remote teaching experience. Also, the 2020 Systems & Controls Ski trip is regrettably cancelled. Hopefully we'll be able...

Human-Swarm teleoperation experiment

Distributed ERG for Crazyswarm Control

Feb. 28, 2020

This is the support video for the article "A Distributed Explicit Reference Governor for the Safe On-Board Control of a Nano-Quadrotor Swarm" submitted to IEEE Transactions on Robotics. The paper summarizes the work done by Bryan Convens during his six-month research stay at CU Boulder. These experiment represent a significant...

Ski Day 2020 (Canceled)

Feb. 14, 2020

After last year's great success, we are organizing the second edition of the Systems & Controls group ski day. Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 14th. The destination is Loveland Ski Area just like last year. For those who are interested but don't know how to ski, no worries! We...
