Mobility through balancing on spherical wheels has recently received some attention in the robotics literature. Unlike traditional wheeled platforms, the operation of such platforms depends heavily on understanding and working with system dynamics, which have so far been approximated with simple planar models and their decoupled extension to three dimensions. Unfortunately, such models cannot capture inherently spatial aspects of motion such as yaw motion arising from the wheel rolling motion or coupled inertial effects for fast maneuvers. In this paper, we describe a novel, fully-coupled 3D model for such spherical wheeled platforms and show that it not only captures relevant spatial aspects of motion, but also provides a basis for controllers better informed by system dynamics. We focus our evaluations to simulations with this model and use circular paths to reveal advantages of this model in dynamically rich situations.

A novel flight control algorithm for multicopters Tekinalp, Ozan (null; 2016-09-29) A new nonlinear control algorithm is proposed for multi-copter type vertical takeoff vehicles. The algorithm uses linear controllers for the position control in the outer loop. The inner loop attitude control is carried out using quaternion representation. The necessary thrust vector requirements of the position control are converted to inner loop as attitude control commands. The inner loop uses a Lyapunov function based attitude controller utilizing the to-go quaternion calculated from thrust vector comma...
A parallel aerostructural shape optimization platform for airplane wings Oktay, Erdal; Arpacı, Anıl; Şehitoğlu, Onur Tolga; Akay, Hasan Umur (null; 2019-05-17) A parallel design platform is developed for aerostructural shape optimization of airplane wings. The developed tools consist of a panel method-based aerodynamic solver, a finite element-based structural solver, geometry and mesh generation modules and a parallel genetic algorithm optimizer, with emphasis given to automation and fast solutions
Model Updating of a Nonlinear System: Gun Barrel of a Battle Tank Canbaloglu, Guvenc; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2016-01-28) Nonlinearities in a structural system make the use of model updating methods developed for linear systems difficult to apply nonlinear systems. If the FRFs of the underlying linear systems in a nonlinear system could be experimentally extracted, then the linear model updating methods could easily be applied to nonlinear systems as well. When there are complex nonlinearities in a structure together with frictional type of nonlinearity, linear FRFs cannot be accurately obtained by using low level forcing. In ...
Digital controller design for sampled-data nonlinear systems Üstüntürk, Ahmet; Kocaoğlan, Erol; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) In this thesis, digital controller design methods for sampled-data nonlinear systems are considered. Although sampled-data nonlinear control has attracted much attention in recent years, the controller design methods for sampled-data nonlinear systems are still limited. Therefore, a range of controller design methods for sampled-data nonlinear systems are developed such as backstepping, adaptive and robust backstepping, reduced-order observer-based output feedback controller design methods based on the Eule...
Parametric identification of structural nonlinearities from measured frequency response data Arslan, Ozge; Aykan, Murat; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2011-05-01) Structural nonlinearity is a common phenomenon encountered in engineering structures under dynamic loading. In several cases, linear theory can suffice to analyze nonlinear systems to some extent. However, there are cases where nonlinear effects and therefore nonlinear analysis become unavoidable. In most of the engineering applications it is usually very difficult if not impossible to model nonlinearity theoretically, especially for nonlinear effects stemming from structural connections. Then it becomes ne...
