  1. 1. RoBuoy : Dynamic Positioning of an Autonomous Buoy using GNSS

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Erik Anderberg; Martin Olanders; [2021]
    Keywords : Autonomous; Buoy; GPS; GNSS; Robot; Mechatronics; Dynamic positioning; Autonom; Boj; GPS; GNSS; Robot; Mekatronik; Dynamisk positionering;

    Abstract : Buoys anchored to the seabed are often used for marking courses in competitive sailing and other water sports, but they may need to be relocated several times per day. To avoid the time and fuel consuming labour of raising and moving the anchors, a prototype of an autonomous buoy using electric motors to maintain its position was built and tested. READ MORE

  3. 2. Autonomous Landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle on an Unmanned Ground Vehicle in a GNSS-denied scenario

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Alexander Källström; Albin Andersson Jagesten; [2020]
    Keywords : Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; Unmanned Ground Vehicle; Autonomous Landing; Ultra-Wide Band; Proportional Navigation; GNSS-denied Scenario; Gazebo;

    Abstract : An autonomous system consisting of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in cooperation with an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is of interest in applications for military reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition (RSTA). The basic idea of such a system is to take advantage of the vehicles strengths and counteract their weaknesses. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysis of Proportional Navigation Guidance Algorithms in the Context of a Near-Earth Object Intercept Mission

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Matteo Clark; [2018]
    Keywords : Planetary Defense; Guidance Algorithms; Spacecraft Design;

    Abstract : An impact of a Near-Earth Object with the Earth is rare but possible, and can have negative consequences ranging from localized annoyance and injury to global devastation and the end of the world as we know it. Considering the magnitude of the consequences and the lack of an ability to respond to such a threat, it is important that these Planetary Defense capabilities are developed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Guiding Shirt : Aiding the Visually Impaired Using Wearable Technology

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : YARED AFEWORK; MAGNUS VALTERSSON; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to research how wearable technology mounted on the torso can be used to aid the visually disabled, particularly in their ability to move around in the world. The project was divided into two parts: the first on how to help them avoid obstacles in their paths, the second on how to help guide them to a specific destination using a navigation system.

  6. 5. Evaluation of Missile Guidance and Autopilot through a 6 DOF Simulation Model

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Ulf Sefastsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Missile Guidance; Proportional Navigation; Optimal Guidance; Differential Game Guidance; Model Predictive Control.; Missilstyrning; syftbäringsstyrning; optimal missilstyrning; spelteoretisk missilstyrning; modellprediktiv reglering;

    Abstract : Missile guidance and autopilot have been active fields of research since the second world war. There are lots of literature on the subjects, but the bulk of which are confined to overly simplified models, and therefore the publications of the methods applied to more realistic models are scarce.
