Co-Chaired a project team that developed and implemented in real-time trajectory planning and a control scheme for an Agricultural Robot. Developed a hierarchical fuzzy controller that simultaneously tracks the robot end-effector using sensor feedback. Currently investigating the possible use of visual feedback mechanism, learning control algorithms and optimal path planning in the hierarchical fuzzy controller. Also worked on developing a neuro-fuzzy model of the robot.
Developed a non-linear mathematical model for a longitudinal dynamics of a minehunting Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) for the Defence Research Agency (DRA), Sea Systems Sector, Winfrith. Designed several autopilots for the ROV using Sliding-Mode-Control, Input-Output Linearisation and fuzzy logic control techniques.
Developed a highly non-linear six-degree of freedom skid-to-turn missile mathematical model for British Aerospace Dynamics Ltd, using Matlab and Simulink. Analysed wind tunnel data to compute aerodynamic coefficients into functional forms. Developed a new input-output linearisation control structure to address the non-minimum phase characteristics of the missile accelerations. The control scheme was implemented on a realistic missile model.
