The use of aerial swarms to solve real-world problems has been increasing steadily,
accompanied by falling prices and improving performance of communication, sensing, and …

This paper reviews some main results and progress in distributed multi-agent coordination,
focusing on papers published in major control systems and robotics journals since 2006 …

This article presents an overview of the current state of research and application of haptic
(primarily kinesthetic) feedback and force-based teleoperation in the context of surgical …

Passivity is an input–output property of dynamical systems. The concept generalizes
physical systems that cannot store more energy than the energy supplied from outside the …

This tutorial revisits several of the most recent passivity-based controllers for nonlinear
bilateral teleoperators with guaranteed stability properties. These schemes, which include …

The formation control problem of a team of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with communication delays is addressed. Based on the extraction …

In this chapter we present an overview of the field of telerobotics with a focus on control
aspects. To acknowledge some of the earliest contributions and motivations the field has …

In this paper, a novel decentralized control strategy for bilaterally teleoperating
heterogeneous groups of mobile robots from different domains (aerial, ground, marine, and …

The master-slave control design problem is considered for the networked teleoperation
system with friction and external disturbances. A new finite-time synchronization control …

Passivity-based control has emerged as an important paradigm for synchronization of
networked robotic systems. Despite the practical utility of task-space algorithms, the previous …
