The impact of robots is increasing very fast, as some of them
emerge out of factories and operate either in terrestrial
unstructured environments or on space orbits. Other robotic
devices become embedded in humans or assist surgeons. Such
robots are controlled machines whose design, dynamics, and
control play a critical role in their stability and performance.
This talk will focus on dynamics and control aspects as they
apply to Biomimetics, Biomechatronics and Space Robotics.
Robotic devices in those areas exhibit common characteristics,
such as coupled and complex dynamics, nonholonomic
behavior, interactions with their environment, under-actuation,
and more, making their planning and control very challenging.
These challenges are tackled by analytical studies and
experimentation.
