Roshan Suresh Kumar, FNU (2019-04-12)The process of camera calibration is of paramount importance in order to employ any vision based sensor for relative navigation purposes. Understanding and quantifying the physical process that converts the external ...
-
Capps, David Edward (2021-07-23)A novel solution to conditionally tensile member modeling with conditional, comprehensive, body interactions is used to simulate the dynamic interactions of a body with a net made of connected strings. The modeling solution ...
-
Moore, Mason (2021-08-13)The topic of this thesis is the analysis of the ability of Modified Chebyshev-Picard Iteration (MCPI) to converge on an accurate solution. The convergence analysis includes a discussion of MCPI and a brief explanation of ...
-
Hartzer, Jacob Marshall (2020-12-01)This thesis summarizes the development of a collaborative localization algorithm simulation environment and the implementation of collaborative localization using Ultra-Wideband ranging in autonomous vehicles. In the ...

Karnan, Haresh (2018-07-27)Tensegrity, a word coined by Buckminster Fuller in the 1960s, is a portmanteau of words tension and integrity. A tensegrity structure is a prestressable network of bars and strings that can be acted by external forces at ...
-
Simms, Lewis Jedidiah (2023-08-03)Extravehicular Activity (EVA) spacesuits have been developed since the early 1960s to protect astronauts from their environment outside of the spacecraft. EVA suits must protect astronauts in extreme environments while ...
-
Bryant, Tyler Aryn (2022-08-17)The focus of this thesis will be the development of a tensegrity flywheel with the goal of minimizing the mass while achieving the desired amount of angular momentum for attitude control of a spacecraft. Currently, flywheels ...
-
Development of a Testbed for Laboratory Validation of Navigation, Estimation, and Sensing Algorithms Simon, Andrew Blake (2021-01-22)Laboratory validation is an important step in the development of new navigation and estimation algorithms. The laboratory validation process often requires the simulation and/or emulation of vehicles, sensors, and operational ...
-
Hines, Adam Scott (2022-10-26)Low-frequency acceleration measurements are a vital component to many technologies and fields of science. High-precision, low-frequency accelerometers are used for inertial navigation, seismology, geophysics, satellite ...
-
Peck, Caleb Hamilton (2020-08-03)In an effort to expand the breadth of tensegrity geometries, novel discrete toroidal topologies are developed, analyzed and presented. The scope of this thesis encompasses the complete design formulation of the connectivity ...
-
Prabhu, Kaushik (2023-07-23)Formation flying is a critical technology for future space missions. Distributed estimation architectures will play a key role in achieving multi-spacecraft mission objectives. In the distributed framework, each spacecraft ...
-
Ghan, Daniel Gonçalves (2019-06-28)Networked embedded systems are valuable tools for guidance and navigation, with applications ranging from UAV swarms to self-driving cars. LASR Lab is working on projects that require networked embedded systems running ...
-
Ramos Zuniga, Jose Humberto (2020-06-09)A Schmidt filter is a modification of the Kalman filter that allows to append system parameters as states and considers their uncertainty effect in the filtering process without attempting to estimate such parameters. The ...
