      Design and implementation of a decentralized control strategy for lifting heavy loads with helicopters. The control system enables the use of existing piloted and unpiloted helicopters to lift heavy loads which would otherwise be infeasible. Linear and nonlinear control techniques are used for evaluation and design. The proposed architecture is validated through the use of simulations, reduced scale and full scale demonstrations.

      Study and design of teleoperation control schemes for use with systems with large time delays. The proposed solution uses a local model of the environment to nearly eliminate the effects of the time delay. This system would allow virtually transparent teleoperation over very long distances, such as remote space missions. The work was validated experimentally using two three degree of freedom haptic robots. Study and design of teleoperation control schemes for use with systems with large time delays.
