From the late 1970s, developments in this area produced several schemes for geometric control of mechanical systems in continuous time and discrete time. In the mid to late 2000s, geometric mechanics was first applied to state estimation of mechanical systems, particularly systems evolving on Lie groups as configuration manifolds, like rigid body systems. Much of the existing work on geometric mechanics-based estimation has been in continuous time, using deterministic, semi-stochastic and stochastic approaches. While the body of existing literature on discrete-time estimation schemes on Lie groups is not as extensive, the literature on this topic is contemporaneous with continuous-time schemes. This work describes some recent and ongoing research on geometric mechanics-based estimation schemes in continuous and discrete time from the mid-2010s, which were developed using the Lagrange-d’Alembert principle applied to rigid body systems. This approach gives (deterministic) observer designs with strong stability and robustness properties.

The trained neural networks are used as surrogate models to simulate the cantilever beam under free and forced conditions. Preliminary findings indicate that HNNs create accurate and efficient surrogate models whilst learning conservation laws.

The concept of haptic shared control steering allows lateral control of the vehicle to be continuously shared between driver and automation via the steering wheel. The automation imparts a torque on the steering wheel which serves to both guide the vehicle and inform the driver of the automation's intent without impairing the driver's ability to steer the vehicle. The combination of haptic feedback and seamless transition of vehicle control makes the use of automation more intuitive. This paper describes a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) approach for controlling the strength of the automation torque with the aim of optimizing vehicle motion. NMPC allows for intuitive tuning and customization of the vehicle steering performance through the NMPC parameterization.
