The Caltech Multi-Vehicle Wireless Testbed (MVWT) is a platform designed to explore theoretical advances in multi-vehicle coordination and control, networked control systems and high confidence distributed computation. The contribution of this report is to present simulation and experimental results on the generation and implementation of optimal trajectories for the MVWT vehicles. The vehicles are...
This brief presents the design of an energy controller for a mechanical hybrid powertrain, which is suitable for implementation in real-time hardware. The mechanical hybrid powertrain uses a compact flywheel module to add hybrid functionalities to a conventional powertrain that consists of an internal combustion engine and a continuously variable transmission. The control objective is to minimize...
This paper presents an algorithm that permits the calculation of interception maneuvers for quadrocopters. The translational degrees of freedom of the quadrocopter are decoupled. Pontryagin's minimum principle is used to show that the interception maneuver that minimizes the time to rest after the interception is identical to the time-optimal maneuver that drives the vehicle to the position at which...
