This paper presents the ARCAD simulator for the rapid development of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), including underactuated and fully-actuated multirotors, fixed-wing aircraft, and Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) hybrid vehicles. The simulator is designed to accelerate these aircraft's modeling and control design. It provides various analyses...

With the rapid development of powder-based additive manufacturing, depowdering, a process of removing unfused powder that covers 3D-printed parts, has become a major bottleneck to further improve its productiveness. Traditional manual depowdering is extremely time-consuming and costly, and some prior automated systems either require pre-depowdering...

A robot needs multiple interaction modes to robustly collaborate with a human in complicated industrial tasks. We develop a Coexistence-and-Cooperation (CoCo) human-robot collaboration system. Coexistence mode enables the robot to work with the human on different sub-tasks independently in a shared space. Cooperation mode enables the robot to follo...

Offering vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities and the ability to travel great distances are crucial for Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles. These capabilities make hybrid VTOLs the clear front-runners among UAM platforms. On the other hand, concerns regarding the safety and reliability of autonomous aircraft have grown in response to th...

Significant progress in robotics reveals new opportunities to advance manufacturing. Next-generation industrial automation will require both integration of distinct robotic technologies and their application to challenging industrial environments. This paper presents lessons from a collaborative assembly project between three academic research grou...

Providing both the vertical take-off and landing capabilities and the ability to fly long distances to aircraft opens the door to a wide range of new real-world aircraft applications while improving many existing applications. Tiltrotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a better choice than fixed-wing and mult...

Collaborative robots require effective intention estimation to safely and smoothly work with humans in less structured tasks such as industrial assembly. During these tasks, human intention continuously changes across multiple steps, and is composed of a hierarchy including high-level interactive intention and low-level task intention. Thus, we pro...

We study the problem of safe and socially aware robot navigation in dense and interactive human crowds. Previous works use simplified methods to model the personal spaces of pedestrians and ignore the social compliance of the robot behaviors. In this paper, we provide a more accurate representation of personal zones of walking pedestrians with thei...

... New applications are introduced using these systems' autonomy and flying capabilities to improve the existing processes, reduce the costs, or perform tasks that were not possible before [1][2][3][4]. New aircraft designs have been developed, including fully-actuated multirotors and hybrid VTOLs, while applications have extended into physical interaction of the aircraft with their environment for tasks ranging from non-destructive contacts to manipulation [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. ...
