    Control of a Distributed Multi-agent System of Quadrotors for Transportation of a Shared Load

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Soltani, Ali (Author) ; Sayyadi, Hassan (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Nowadays, multi-agent robotic systems are implemented to perform various operations such as military mission, search and rescue operations, etc. One of the most interested robotic platforms for multi-agent systems is quadrotor aerial robot. In this paper, a team of quadrotors is prepared to perform a formation flight toward a specified target in order to catch and transport it on a desired path. Therefore, at first, trajectory tracking control of the quadrotor has been studied and two types of controllers have been introduced: Hierarchical controller and Non-hierarchical controller. Coordinate free structure of the hierarchical controller provides distinctive properties and guarantees... 

    Analysis and Design of Controller and user Interface of a 6DOF Stewart Platform – based Hydraulic Motion Simulator for Heavy Payloads

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Heydari, Mohammad Hossein (Author) ; Durali, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Motion simulators have been highly sought after by the growth of the aerospace industry. In the meantime, the Stewart mechanism, or the so-called Hexapads, is a robot that, in addition to being used in machining tools, is mainly used to simulate the flight. The robot is considering the project to test parts and equipment installed in marine vessels under sea movements and waves. Therefore, according to information obtained through real case studies, the purpose of this project is to design and implement a hexapad controller and user interface for samples weighing up to 2 tons which can handle linear accelerations up to 1 g, rotary accelerations up to 200 º / s2 performs at a frequency... 

    A supervisory fuzzy-PID controller for a MIMO biped robot balance in frontal plane

    Abstract
    In this paper we propose to control a bipedal robot in an unstable position by means of a PID controller that gains are turned by a fuzzy logic system. For that, a model of planar 3 linked segment consisting of limb, trunk and extended arms with fixed base is used. Fuzzy if-then rules are constructed based on human expert knowledge and biomechanics studies for tuning of PID's gain. For construction of tuning rules, we have developed an optical measuring system to record experimental data of balance keeping of a human in an unstable position. The control model is based on three sets of different global variables: (1) limb orientation and its derivative, (2) trunk/upper attitude and its...
