A transformation of the position based visual servoing problem into a convex optimization problem

Published in 51st IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2012

We introduce a two step method that transforms the position-based visual servoing problem into a convex optimization problem with linear constraints.

Cooperative control of a serial-to-parallel structure using a virtual kinematic chain in a mobile dual-arm manipulation application

Published in 2015 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2015

We propose to use a Virtual Kinematic Chain (VKC) to specify the common motion of the parallel manipulators mounted on a mobile base, instead of commanding the two manipulators kinematics independently.

Impact-Friendly Robust Control Design with Task-Space Quadratic Optimization

Published in Robotics: Science and Systems XV, 2019

We introduce the impact-awareness to the QP controller by including the gradient of impact-induced state jumps with respect to the QP decision variables.

On Inverse Inertia Matrix and Contact-Force Model for Robotic Manipulators at Normal Impacts

Published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2022

Evaluating the force measurements from 150 impact experiments, the best model-to-data matching suggests a viscoelastic contact-force model and computing the inverse inertia matrix (impulse-to velocity mapping) assuming the robot is a composite-rigid body

Impact-Aware Task-Space Quadratic-Programming Control

Published in International Journal of Robotics Research, 2023

We summarize the impact-aware constraints formulation of the model-based quadratic-programming controller. The impact-awareness enables online filtering of the reference contact velocities such that all the constraints are respected despite the impact
