Project title: Safe energy-aware robotic teleoperation Project duration: 3 years Research contents: Employ methods from the energy-aware robotics framework, including passivity theory and port-based modelling, to develop energy-aware controllers that guarantee robust stability of the teleoperation system under varying environments and in the presence of large time delays. Building on recent developments in energy-aware control approaches, including control barrier functions and energy tanks with budgeting, to enforce safety constraints. These include energy content of the teleoperation system, applied forces, and power flows between the system, human operator, and environment.
