Speaker: Robert Mahony, Department of Engineering, Australian National University

Abstract:This talk provides an overview of my contributions to
the field of image based visual servo (IBVS) control of aerial
robotic vehicles over the last 10 years. The talk recaps the
early work done to extend classical visual servo techniques to
aerial vehicle dynamics, covers the case where optic flow is used
as a velocity measure in dynamic IBVS and some of the practical
issues encountered, and and ends by describing some recent work on
vision based teleoperation of aerial vehicle.
Biography:Robert Mahony is currently a reader in the Department
of Engineering at the Australian National University. He received
a PhD in 1995 (systems engineering) and a BSc in 1989 (applied
mathematics and geology) both from the Australian National
University. He worked as a marine seismic geophysicist and an
industrial research scientist before completing a postdoctoral
fellowship in France and a Logan Fellowship at Monash University
in Australia. He has held his post at ANU since 2001. His
research interests are in non-linear control theory with
applications in robotics, geometric optimisation techniques and
systems theory.
