Mission Design and GNC for In-Orbit Demonstration of Active Debris Removal Technologies with CubeSats

Volker Gass, Muriel Richard, Camille Sébastien Pirat, Federico Belloni, Reto Wiesendanger, Christophe Dominique Paccolat

Within the frame of the ESA’s General Support Technology Programme, EPFL studied two In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) missions using CubeSat technologies. These IODs aim at alleviating the technical risk inherent to new technologies required for Active Debris ...

GPS-based orbital filter to reach the moon

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano

Nowadays, global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) are used for many new applications that go further than the original goal of providing position, velocity and timing for land, maritime and air applications. In particular, GNSS receivers have been adop ...

Observability analysis of 3D AUV trimming trajectories in the presence of ocean currents using range and depth measurements

António Pedro Rodrigues de Aguiar

We analyze the observability properties of the kinematic model of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) moving in 3D, under the influence of ocean currents, using range and depth measurements. The results obtained shed light into the types of trajectories ...

Lidar-Based Relative Position Estimation and Tracking for Multi-Robot Systems

Alcherio Martinoli, José Nuno Ferreira Maia Pereira, Rodrigo Martins de Matos Ventura

Relative positioning systems play a vital role in current multi-robot systems. We present a self-contained detection and tracking approach, where a robot estimates a distance (range) and an angle (bearing) to another robot using measurements extracted from ...

Determination of the centre of mass kinematics in alpine skiing using differential global navigation satellite systems

Julien Chardonnens

In the sport of alpine skiing, knowledge about the centre of mass (CoM) kinematics (i.e. position, velocity and acceleration) is essential to better understand both performance and injury. This study proposes a global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-bas ...

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF GNSS AS NAVIGATION SYSTEM TO REACH THE MOON

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Vincenzo Capuano

Reaching the Moon poses very strict requirements in terms of performance, flexibility and cost for all the spacecraft subsystems. These requirements become more stringent if the mission is designed to be accomplished using a small spacecraft. The navigatio ...

Development of a Localization System Based on VLC Technique for an Indoor Environment

Kwang Moo Yi

In this paper, we develop an indoor localization device which embeds localization information into indoor light-emitting-diodes (LED) lighting systems. The key idea of our device is the use of the newly proposed "bit stuffing method". Through the use of st ...

Air-ground Matching: Appearance-based GPS-denied Urban Localization of Micro Aerial Vehicles

Davide Scaramuzza

In this paper, we address the problem of globally localizing and tracking the pose of a camera-equipped micro aerial vehicle (MAV) flying in urban streets at low altitudes without GPS. An image-based global positioning system is introduced to localize the ...

A Friction Compensation Control for Power Steering

Philippe Müllhaupt, Robert Fuchs

The effects of friction are critical to the dynamics of electric power steering (EPS). On the one hand, friction contributes to the stability of the system and filters some of the disturbances (road vibration, etc.). On the other hand, it affects negativel ...

Position accuracy with redundant MEMS IMU for road applications

Jan Skaloud, Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Bertrand Merminod, Philipp Clausen

Traffic problems have mainly resulted from an increase in mobility over the last decades involving an increase in traffic congestion and degradation of environmental conditions. The employment of new systems - namely, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) is ...
