Horn, Jonathan Corwin (2015-07-29)This thesis presents a complete methodology for translating robotic walking to powered prostheses, and demonstrates this framework on two novel custom built powered prostheses, AMPRO. Motivated by methods that have ...
-
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 ...
-
McCarthy, Michael C (2022-03-07)The use of highly autonomous free-flying spacecraft has been investigated for potential utility in future human spaceflight endeavors. In general, ’free-flyer’ robots are small, self-sufficient spacecraft that operate near the ...
-
Harris, Matthew Wade (2012-02-14)This work provides first and second-order expressions to approximate neighboring solutions to the m-point boundary value problem. Multi-point problems arise in optimal control because of interior constraints or switching ...
-
Thimmalapura, Satish Voddina (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Motion control systems are usually designed to track trajectories and/or regulate about a desired point. Most of the other objectives, like minimizing the tracking time or minimizing the energy expended, are secondary which ...
-
Huang, Yanhe (2016-05-02)Given a complex vector space V, consider the quotient map of the image of the Plucker embedding of the Grassmannian of m-planes of V by a certain subspace of P ∧m V . Such maps generalize the classical Wronski maps on ...
-
Vishala, FNU (2022-04-22)Electric propulsion is defining the space travel of this era with its more payload to fuel efficiency and ability to result in robust deep space missions. Moreover, the complex sub-systems of these low thrust engines (like ...
-
Abdelkhalik, Osama Mohamed Omar (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The problem of observing a given set of Earth target sites within an assigned time frame is examined. Attention is given mainly to visiting these sites as sub-satellite nadir points. Solutions to this problem in the ...
-
Jarratt, Amber Sue (2016-08-01)In recent decades, low-earth orbital debris has become a major concern. If the density of objects in orbit is too high, and nothing is done to remove any debris, there could be a cascade of collisions, each generating more ...
-
McLelland, Angela N (2013-12-12)This research investigated the structural response of satellites and space rated payloads. Throughout the work, SolidWorks Simulation was utilized to subject the aforementioned systems to both experimental test loads as ...
-
Holub, Matthew James (2019-07-16)The simulation of a spacecraft in an accurately modeled environment gives engineers and researchers important data on the feasibility of designs. The Simulation Testbed for Entry Analysis and Design (STEAD) is a modular ...
-
Johnston, Hunter Reed (2021-05-19)The Theory of Functional Connections (TFC) is a general methodology for functional interpolation that can embed a set of user-specified linear constraints. The functionals derived from this method, called "constrained ...
