Student Projects

I actively supervise MSc thesis & assignments. If you are interested in any of the following topics, or have a general idea of research related to planning / control / estimation of aerial robots, please feel free to contact me at s.sun-2@tudelft.nl.

Please also send with your application an updated CV, a transcript of your current education and indicate a planned start date.

(Open) Visual-Servoing for an Under-Actuated Aerial Manipulator

In this research, the student will create a perception pipeline and perform visual servoing for an aerial manipulator to perform autonomous aerial manipulation tasks without reliance on external sensors.

(Closed) Actuator Dynamic Compensator for Incremental Nonlinear Control

In this research, the student will explore a technique known as “command advancing”. Preliminary studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in overcoming the limitations posed by first and second-order dynamic actuators. The student aims to refine and implement this technique on a BLDC (Brushless DC electric) motor and subsequently assess its performance on a quadrotor drone.
