Investigation of dynamics and control of complex robotic systems

Project Lead: Mamaev Ivan Sergeevich

Fund: Russian Science Foundation

Project Number: 25-11-00305

Implementation period: 2025-2027

Annotation:
This project plans to conduct comprehensive research aimed at developing and analyzing the motion of robotic systems. These studies include the development of designs and the creation of full-scale samples of mobile robots, the construction of mathematical models of motion that allow studying their dynamics, and solving control problems of the systems under consideration. In addition, conducting theoretical studies of the dynamics and controllability of robots will allow developing recommendations for optimizing the design parameters and control parameters. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of control algorithms for the considered designs of robotic systems (omniwheel, spherical, screwless underwater), using the results of the study of dynamic models describing their motion, taking into account the features of the external environment. In addition, the considered designs of robotic systems are new and have advantages in maneuverability, cross-country ability, controllability compared to existing models of mobile robots.


Ural Mathematical Center

Project Lead: Kilin Alexander Alexandrovich

Fund: Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation

Project Number:

Implementation period: 2020-2027

Annotation:
Within the Ural Mathematical Center, the research direction “Regular and Chaotic Dynamics” is being developed. This area is devoted to the study of Dynamical Systems Theory (including the theory of integrability, chaos, and Celestial Mechanics, as well as rigid body dynamics). It represents one of the central fields of modern mathematics and maintains strong connections with other branches of mathematics, as well as with problems in mechanics, physics, biology, economics, and other disciplines. The relevance of these studies is determined by the possibility of applying the developed mathematical approaches to numerous physical problems, including those arising in the theory of nonholonomic systems, classical problems of vortex dynamics and the motion of bodies in fluids, as well as in celestial mechanics and related areas.

Implementation period: 2025-2027

Annotation:
The project is devoted to investigating theoretical and experimental aspects of mechanical systems with rolling elements, described by nonlinear dynamical systems with non-integrable constraints. The tasks formulated within the project are interdisciplinary in nature, and their solution requires joint research in such fields as theoretical mechanics, dynamical systems theory, control theory, and robotics.

Investigation of rigid body dynamics in the presence of nonintegrable constraints

Project Lead: Pivovarova Elena Nikolaevna

Fund: Russian Science Foundation

Project Number: 23-71-01045

Implementation period: 2023 - 2025

Annotation:
The project is devoted to investigating the dynamics of rigid bodies on a plane in the presence of nonintegrable constraints.
