FUTURA

Jouni Mattila from Tampere University Exploiting electrification benefits and full-dynamics-based control of mobile manipulators.

Main objective

The project focuses on developing technologies and methods that are fundamental for unlocking the full commercial potential of future electrified mobile working machines. The main objective is to develop science-based control methods which enable the cooperation of the electric boom and the rough-terrain-suitable electric mobile platform, paving the way for future fully electric rough-terrain mobile manipulators capable of flexible and autonomous task execution.

About me

I am Professor of Machine Automation in of IHA-Innovative Hydraulics and Automation research group. My R&D interests include:

Real-world autonomous mobile working machines (mobile manipulators)
Whole body motion estimation and control of rough terrain mobile manipulators
Heavy-duty robotics motion and contact force controls
Advanced high performance and energy-efficient actuators, and their non-linear controls
Remote Handling/teleoperated safety-critical systems (e.g. in ITER-project)

Field of expertise

I have proven project-based track-record on multidisciplinary R&D topics dealing with full scale heavy-duty mobile working machines relevant to Finland-based companies and in big science projects: heavy-duty robotics motion/force controls, autonomous mobile working machines, nonlinear control engineering, and systems engineering in safety critical applications (e.g. in ITER-project). I published broadly in those fields during the past years.
