  1. 1. Vertical landing flight envelope definition

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Jack Charles Hooper; [2020]
    Keywords : trajectory optimization; pseudospectral; optimal control; re-entry; high speed aerodynamics; high angle of attack;

    Abstract : This paper will investigate the development of a landing footprint for a re-entry vehicle. Vehicles can re-enter the atmosphere with a range of orientations, velocities and flight path angles. READ MORE

  3. 2. Hybrid Differential Dynamic Programming Algorithm for Low-Thrust Trajectory Design Using Exact High-Order Transition Maps

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Michele Maestrini; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Optimal orbital trajectories are obtained through the solution of highly nonlinear large scale problems. In the case of low-thrust propulsion applications, the spacecraft benefits from high specific impulses and, hence, greater payload mass. READ MORE

  4. 3. Initial concepts to develop a semi-autonomous operator support technology for operating a novel forestry machine

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Xiaowei Dong; [2018]
    Keywords : Robotics; Motion planning; Virtual holonomic constraints; Trajectory optimization;

    Abstract : Forestry machines have the power to lift heavy logs, but they are not so smart at providing information, or help operators perform better work. The main reason to this problem is the low level of technology applied to forestry machines, which has not changed so much since the forestry machines were first introduced in the 1960’s. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sensor-Based Trajectory Optimization

    University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

    Author : Martin Biel; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the robot industry, it is necessary to employ efficient trajectory planners to perform tasks with good performance, as well as provide the end-user with a friendly interface which does not require manual tuning to achieve optimal movements. A common method for trajectory planning is to first generate a geometric path and then determine an optimal trajectory along that path. READ MORE

  6. 5. High Flying, Electrifying : Assessment and Extension of a Kite Model for Power Production

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Karin Lindholm; [2015]
    Keywords : kite; wind power; electricity generating kite; power kite; kite power; modelling; simulation; optimisation; optimization;

    Abstract : This thesis has its starting point in an existing computer model of an electricity generating kite, from Heidelberg University. The modelled kite has an area of 500 m2 and is tethered to a generator at sea. A control unit steers the kite in an optimised trajectory. READ MORE
