    • Kinematic Modelling and State Estimation of Exploration Rovers 

      Lou, Qingfeng; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Kövecses, József (2019-04)
      [Abstract] State estimation is crucial for exploration rovers. It provides the pose and velocity of the rover by processing measurements from onboard sensors. Classical wheel odometry only employs encoder measurements of ...
    • Mobility Evaluation of Wheeled Robots on Soft Terrain: Effect of Internal Force Distribution 

      Ghotbi, Bahareh; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Kövecses, József; Angeles, Jorge (2016-06)
      [Abstract] Many applications of wheeled robots include operations in unstructured environments. Optimizing vehicle mobility is of key importance in these cases. Reduced mobility can limit the ability of the robot to achieve ...
    • Real-time Simulation of Cable Pay-Out and Reel-In with Towed Fishing Gears 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; Luaces, Alberto; González, Manuel; Prada, Amelia de la (Elsevier, 2017-02)
      [Abstract] Achieving real-time simulation of fast cable pay-out and reel-in manoeuvres with towed fishing gears is a challenging task. This work presents two new simulation methods based on simplified cable models for ...
    • Energy-Leak Monitoring and Correction to Enhance Stability in the Co-simulation of Mechanical Systems 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; Arbatani, Siamak; Mohtat, Arash; Kövecses, József (2019-01)
      [Abstract] Non-iterative co-simulation is an increasingly important technique for the simulation of complex mechanical systems. Adopting co-simulation schemes enables the simultaneous use of computational resources and ...
    • Assessment of Linearization Approaches for Multibodydynamics Formulations 

      González Varela, Francisco Javier; Masarati, Pierangelo; Cuadrado, Javier; Naya, Miguel A. (2017-07)
      [Abstract] Formulating the dynamics equations of a mechanical system following a multibody dynamics approach often leads to a set of highly nonlinear Differential Algebraic Equations (DAEs). While this form of the equations ...
