Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli – Projects

For the Multiple Input Multiple Output Control Systems class, held by Professor Francesco Amato, I worked on a project to build and fly a quadcopter. It is available with a presentation and some videos, only in Italian here.

This project for the Non Linear Dynamics and Control class, held by Professor Mario di Bernardo, consisted in analysing and controlling a wing affected by aeroelastic flutter. The control strategies used are Feedback Linearization and Model Reference Adaptive Control and the system analysis was conducted using bifurcation and Lyapunov theory. It is available written in English here.

Although not being a project strictly speaking, I am co-author of the lecture material that is now used - with some revisions - in the Identification and optimal control class held by Professor Franco Garofalo at the University Federico II of Naples. The original work is available, only in Italian here.

For the Robotics class, held by Professor Bruno Siciliano, I worked on the control of a SCARA robot. I applied the force and motion control techniques as well as an adaptive Model Reference Adaptive controller. It is available in English, with a small presentation here.

For the 3D CAD class, held by Professor Giuseppe Di Gironimo, we measured and modeled a kitchen hinge designed to rotate up to 180°. After dissembling the hinge we measured the parts by using a calibre and modeled all the components using SolidEdge 17. It is availible only in italian here.

In this project at first the direct kinematic equation is derived for a PUMA robot for the Articulated Mechanical Systems class held by Professor Cesare Rossi. Then the position, velocity and accelerations matrixes are calculated. Secondly a dynamical equilibrium anlysis is performed for the various segments of the robot. It is available only in italian here.

In this project, for the Modeling and simulation class held by Professor Giovanni Celentano a qualitative analysis is performed for various systems.

• An RC model of a coaxial cable is developed and simulated for voice transimission

• DC motor model is developed and simulated both with control and without

• Power supply unit is models and simulated including its non linear dynamics

• The roll movement model of a ship is developed and simulated

It is available only in italian here.
