This research project aims to develop an attitude, orientation and position reference system based on a recursive robust Kalman filter (RRKF) we are proposing. This RRKF performs better than the standard Kalman filter to the data fusion from a low cost inertial measurement unit (IMU). This type of IMU lacks the quality of signals measured in costly IMU. The main contribution of this resea…
This proposal deals with the coordination of heterogeneous robots based on unmanned helicopters and mobile robots. The robots are controlled to follow a leader. Decentralized recursive robust regulators will be designed to maintain the robots in formation. It will be developed a fault tolerant control system based on linear Markovian jump linear systems to guarantee the stability when o…

Set-based methods have gained attention in the last decades in a wide range of applications due to their robustness and reliability, since the obtained results are often guaranteed. Nevertheless, while set-based estimation and fault diagnosisare relatively consolidated for linear systems, set-based estimation and fault diagnosis of nonlinear discrete-time systems is still an open field. T…
Nowadays, the demand for optical sensors with faster, cheaper and more accurate technologies has grown tremendously. However with this advance, there is also a need for an increase in speed of processing and treatment of this kind of data. With increasingly advanced applications, these sensors have allowed certain moving bodies to move around in environments in order to locate and avoid p…
Autonomous mobile robots are increasingly performing activities previously performed by humans, especially risky, exhaustive or repetitive tasks. However, in many cases robots do not have a map of the work environment in advance, which requires them to be able to self locate and map their surroundings, simultaneously. This doctoral project proposes the safe navigation of heterogeneous ro…
