ModellingUnderstanding controllability and the possible motions
of platforms or actions of systems underlies any ability to usefully plan
and execute tasks. The partners have considerable expertise in modelling
the kinematics and dynamics of large and complex platforms (air, land
and sub-sea systems). Research in modelling will focus on:
- Understanding
the effects of model fidelity on system performance, system complexity
and sensor requirements;
- Using platform models to allow learning of
terrain and environment structure, and especially traversability of a
terrain by an agent of a given modelled capability; and
- Modelling and
describing coupling between platforms, particularly synergistic systems
in which one platform deploys or controls other smaller agents.
Research
in modelling is led by Gamini Dissanayake. |
