Images of a nearby celestial body collected by a camera on an exploration spacecraft
contain a wealth of actionable information. This work considers how the apparent location of …

High-quality control method is of great importance for the attitude determination and
maneuvering of spacecraft in the on-orbit servicing technology. Prescribed performance …

We propose the first fast and certifiable algorithm for the registration of two sets of three-
dimensional (3-D) points in the presence of large amounts of outlier correspondences. A …

Semidefinite Programming (SDP) and Sums-of-Squares (SOS) relaxations have led to
certifiably optimal non-minimal solvers for several robotics and computer vision problems …

In this paper, a model predictive path integral control algorithm based on a generalized
importance sampling scheme is developed and parallel optimization via sampling is …

Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems by Hanspeter Schaub and John Junkins is a
comprehensive treatment of a stimulating and challenging subject that is both old and new …

This paper proposes a novel quaternion-based attitude estimator with magnetic, angular
rate, and gravity (MARG) sensor arrays. A new structure of a fixed-gain complementary filter …

In this paper, the in-motion coarse alignment (IMCA) for odometer-aided strap-down inertial
navigation system (SINS) is investigated with the main focus on compensating for the …

In this paper, we propose a novel method for pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) using
microelectromechanical system magnetic, angular rate, and gravity sensors, which includes …

This study presents an original approach to the design of a complete digital attitude control
unit for a UAV quadrotor. The approach is developed within the framework of Active …
