  • Design of a fully fledged Uav test-bed with internal and external pilot 
    Tennakoon, WTMS; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    This paper presents a non linear automatic UAV simulation testbed and an autonomous control implementation with way point navigation. The UAV simulator is an integrated product that combines a vehicle operator station with ...
  • Development of a holonomic mobile robot for field applications 
    De Silva, WR; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    This paper presents a development of a holonomic mobile robot with remote operation capability. Most of the currently available holonomic mobile robots find problems in field applications because they has not been adopted ...
  • Electric vehicle simulator to determine motor and battery specifications 
    Jayasundara, JWKK; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    The determination of the motor and battery specification is one of the major challenges in the electric vehicle designs, specially considering the different kinds of requirements and specifications in different designs. ...
  • An Experimental study on using visual odometry for short-run self localization of field robot 
    Piyathilaka, L; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    one of the most challenging problems of field robots is self-localization, which involves incremental update of position while in motion. Though wheel based odometry is cheaper to implement its accuracy degrades when ...
  • High resolution stepper motor controller for tunable laser 
    Ganeshanathan, V; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    Tunable laser system requires high resolution and accuracy in position of the wave selective optical element, which can be attained through the use of stepper motor. This paper focuses on the stepper motor controller, with ...
  • Modeling and simulation of power tiller for autonomous operation in agricultural fields 
    Piyathilaka, L; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    This paper details the development of a model for a walking tractor also known as power tiller. A complete model for power tiller is developed considering kinematics, dynamics and engine dynamics for autonomous operation. ...
  • Modelling, simulation and implementation of a quadrotor UAV 
    Fernando, HCTE; De Silva, ATA; De Zoysa, MDC; Dilshan, KADC; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    This paper presents modelling, simulation and implementation of a quadrotor Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) Focus of this work is to gain in-depth understanding of quadrotor dynamics to develop a simulator and a laboratory ...
  • Multi-camera visual odometry for skid steered field robot 
    Piyathilaka, L; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    Position estimation using wheel odometric systems tends to give rather poor performances for an outdoor fourwheel skid steered mobile robot. Therefore autonomous control of these vehicles is extremely challenging in outdoor ...
  • Performance analysis of a kalman filter based attitude estimator for a Quad Rotor UAV 
    Abeywardena, DMW; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    This paper analyzes the performance of an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based attitude estimator for a Quad Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (QRUAV). A non-linear dynamic model of the QRUAV, simulated in Matlab was complemented ...
  • Recursive least square based estimation of MEMS inertial sensor stochastic models 
    Abeywardena, DMW; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    In this paper we first analyze the effects of least square based parameter estimation for a autoregressive stochastic model of inertial sensor errors. We then proceed to develop the recursive least squares (RLS) estimation ...
  • Short-Term Electricity Demand Forecasting Method for Smart Meters 
    Weranga, KSK; Chandima, DP; Munasinghe, SR; Kumarawadu, SP; Abeykoon, AMHS [Conference-Abstract]
    The short-term electricity demand forecasting has become one of the major research area in power system engineering. By combining the smart metering to the short term demand forecasting techniques, new features can ...
  • Software design tool for optimum axial flux BLDC motors 
    Jayasundara, JWKK; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    The Axial Flux BLDC motors are relatively new, specially at higher power ratings over 10kW. Therefore the designers face a lot of difficulties in designing and optimizing the motor for a given application. This paper ...
  • Universal dynamic simulator for robot manipulators 
    Kurukularachchi, L; De Silva, RP; Munasinghe, SR [Conference-Abstract]
    The simulator users do not have an adequate solution for the universal manipulators because the existing simulators are narrow with limited applications. This paper presents a development of an efficient simulator for ...
