  4. 3. Application of Discrete Time High Order Control Barrier Functions for a prototype multi-spacecraft inspection of the ISS

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Gregorio Marchesini; [2023]
    Keywords : Space Robotics; Control Barrier Functions; Autonomous systems; Multi-agent systems;

    Abstract : In the past few years, the application of Control Barrier Functions (CBF) and High Order Control Barrier Functions (HOCBF) as a suitable framework to ensure safety for autonomous systems has attracted increasing interest. In particular, autonomous space systems are frequently subject to safety-critical constraints due to the high costs involved in manufacturing and launching. READ MORE

  5. 4. Distance and orientation-based formation control of UAVs and coordination with UGVs

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Stevedan Ogochukwu Omodolor; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Nowadays, research in autonomous drones has increased thanks to the advancement of drone technology. Nevertheless, there are still limitations when performing specific missions due to flight duration, computational load and mission complexity. This thesis investigates ways to solve this problem by taking advantage of multiple UAVs and UGVs. READ MORE

  6. 5. Jet fragmentation in shaped charges

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Joakim Ericson; [2022]
    Keywords : Shaped charges; numerical simulation; jet fragmentation; Riktad sprängverkan; numerisk simulering; strål-fragmentering;
