Multi-object spectroscopic operations with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V

Ricardo Jorge Araùjo Pereira, Luzius Gregor Kronig, Loïc Grossen

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) is an all-sky spectroscopic survey of more than 6 million objects, designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, reveal the inner workings of stars, investigate the origin of solar systems, and track the growth of ...

Precision Positioning of Microrobots for Multi-Object Spectrographs

Luzius Gregor Kronig

How does one study the evolution of the Milky Way, or the expansion of the Universe, or explore the mysteries of Dark energy? To investigate these complex topics, astronomers require data, and a great deal of it, in the form of the spectra of stars, galaxi ...

Inertial Three-Operator Splitting Method and Applications

Volkan Cevher, Alp Yurtsever, Cong Bang Vu

We introduce an inertial variant of the forward-Douglas-Rachford splitting and analyze its convergence. We specify an instance of the proposed method to the three-composite convex minimization template. We provide practical guidance on the selection of the ...

Haptic Guidance with a Soft Exoskeleton Reduces Error in Drone Teleoperation

Dario Floreano, Auke Ijspeert, Stefano Mintchev, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Haptic guidance has been shown to improve performance in many fields as it can give additional information without overloading other sensory channels such as vision or audition. Our group is investigating new intuitive ways to interact with robots, and we ...

Parameter Estimation with GNSS-Reflectometry and GNSS Synthetic Aperture Techniques

Miguel Angel Ribot Sanfelix

Aside from intentional interference, multipath is the most significant error source for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers in many operational scenarios. In this thesis, we study the multipath estimation from two different perspectives: t ...

Mapping GNSS Restricted Environment with a Drone Tandem and Indirect Position Control

Davide Antonio Cucci

The problem of autonomously mapping highly cluttered environments, such as urban and natural canyons, is intractable with the current UAV technology. The reason lies in the absence or unreliability of GNSS signals due to partial sky occlusion or multi-path ...

Decoding the Population Activity of Grid Cells for Spatial Localization and Goal-Directed Navigation

Alexander Mathis

Mammalian grid cells fire whenever an animal crosses the points of an imaginary, hexagonal grid tessellating the environment. Here, we show how animals can localize themselves and navigate by reading-out a simple population vector of grid cell activity acr ...
