  • Methods for localisation and mapping, simultaneous localisation and mapping, extended Kalman filter, position, orientation and feature estimation methods - particle filter.
  • Higher level control – strategies of multi-agent systems control.
  • Path planning – the principle of optimality, path optimisation with constraints (obstacle avoiding, nonholonomity, dynamic constraints, actuator constraints), satellite orbits.
  • Optimal control in the presence of disturbances.
  • Frequency domain robust control design methods.
  • Trajectory tracking control of autonomous systems.
  • Control of autonomous systems to the final state.
  • Adaptive control of autonomous systems.
