  1. 6. Movement Estimation with SLAM through Multimodal Sensor Fusion

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Medie- och Informationsteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : Jimmy Cedervall Lamin; [2024]
    Keywords : slam; discrete-slam; continuous-slam; synchronous; asynchronous; computer vision; BRISK; opencv; ceres; visual; inertial; sensor fusion; multimodal; Simultaneous Localization and Mapping; time offset; pose estimation; quaternions; movement estimation;

    Abstract : In the field of robotics and self-navigation, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is a technique crucial for estimating poses while concurrently creating a map of the environment. Robotics applications often rely on various sensors for pose estimation, including cameras, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and more. READ MORE

  3. 7. Ensuring safe docking maneuvers on floating platform using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Federico Gatti; [2024]
    Keywords : Robotics; Space Engineering; Docking Maneuvers; Floating Platforms; Nonlinear MPC; MPC; Barrier function; PWM;

    Abstract : Docking maneuvers are a relevant part of the modern space mission, requiring precision and safety to ensure the success of the overall mission. This thesis proposes using a non-linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) as a controller with various constraints to ensure safe docking maneuvers for a satellite. READ MORE

  4. 8. Early-Stage Validation of Autonomous Vehicles in Ambiguous Environments : A Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) of an Autonomous Military Defense Industry Vehicle

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem
