Ing. Mahdi Javadi

I am actively engaged in various robotics projects at the institute. Responsibilities: -Trajectory optimization and stabilization to achieve a desired behavior -Software implementation and integration of algorithms for high level behavior control -Ensure reliable hardware-software communication and troubleshooting low-level control drives -Bridging the simulation to reality gap for robust system performance I am also responsible for the Brachiation Robots Project in team Mechanics and Control.

I worked with underactuated robots, robots that have fewer actuators than their degrees of freedom. The main task is to make the robots accomplish certain activities using energy-efficient controllers. This can be achieved by solving constrained optimization problems to get optimal trajectories for the robots and finally track the proposed trajectory using an optimal controller. Responsibilities: •Mechatronics development •Trajectory optimization •Trajectory stabilization •Hardware and software maintenance

Developed nonlinear controllers (Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller and Backstepping controller) to actively damp the vibrations of a stacker crane robot by following an optimal trajectory to save energy.

Cooperated in a team of researchers for exploratory analysis of eICU dataset and development of a predictive model capable of accurately predicting the likelihood of survival for an ICU patient after admission.

- Software development of different PLC and HMI according to customer preferences - Provide recommendations on design, debugging and troubleshooting real-time programming errors for plant automation services

Employed an A-star search algorithm for an autonomous ground vehicle robot to avoid obstacles and developed a Fuzzy controller to track the suggested trajectory.

Supervision for construction of instruments (Flow meters, valves, transmitters) and telecommunication facilities (PAGA, CCTV, VHF FM/AM) on Offshore platforms (SPD 12B & 12C)
