Additional information
A unique approach to capturing delicate free moving objects that is based around jerk minimisation and self-tuning for robustness to mass/velocity measurement errors. The paper validates theoretical controller design through experimental results. The work is a new, fundamentally different approach that has broad applications in areas such as landing UAV’s and docking space vehicles. In 2013 work at University of Central Florida is building on this work to develop robot hardware based on harmonic drive actuators towards capture of dynamic objects ($25K of internal funding, arjun@cs.ucf.edu).
