(2012-02-14)Parametric uncertainty is one of many possible causes of divergence for the Kalman filter. Frequently, state estimation errors caused by imperfect model parameters are reduced by including the uncertain parameters as states ...
-
(2011-08-08)The theory of sensori-computational circuits provides a capable framework for the description and optimization of robotic systems, including on-line optimizations. This theory, however, is inadequate in that it does not ...
-
(2013-08-02)Uncertainty has a large effect on projects in the oil and gas industry, because most aspects of project evaluation rely on estimates. Industry routinely underestimates uncertainty, often significantly. The tendency to ...
-
(2013-01-31)The problem of relative spacecraft motion estimation is considered with application to various reference and relative orbits. Mean circular and elliptic orbits are analyzed, with relative orbits ranging in size from 1 km ...

Development of a Testbed for Laboratory Validation of Navigation, Estimation, and Sensing Algorithms (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 ...

Estimation algorithm for autonomous aerial refueling using a vision based relative navigation system (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)A new impetus to develop autonomous aerial refueling has arisen out of the growing demand to expand the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With autonomous aerial refueling, UAVs can retain the advantages of ...
-
(2019-03-28)Differential games are a useful tool both for modeling conflict between autonomous systems and for synthesizing robust control solutions. The traditional study of games has assumed decision agents possess complete information ...
-
(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 ...

First Year Eats (FYE) is a new program on Texas A&M’s campus dedicated to teaching freshmen how to cook from the comfort of their dorms while providing them with the resources necessary to do so. To assess the impact of ...
-
(2017-04-28)Multirotors could be used to autonomously perform tasks in search-and-rescue, reconnaissance, or infrastructure-monitoring applications. In these environments, the vehicle may have limited or degraded GPS access. Researchers ...
-
(2014-12-04)Pursuit-evasion games reside at the intersection of game theory and optimal control theory. They are often referred to as differential games because the dynamics of the relative system are modeled by the pursuer and evader ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The majority of current internet traffic is based on TCP. With the emergence of new applications, especially new multimedia applications, however, UDP-based traffic is expected to increase. Furthermore, multimedia applications ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The main objective of this work is to demonstrate some new computational methods for estimation, optimization and modeling of dynamical systems that use automatic differentiation. Particular focus will be upon dynamical ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Many satellite applications require a model that represents a surface as it deforms over time. Yet, space applications demand a precise, low-weight, low-volume, and easy to implement solution. A metrology sensing system ...
-
(2017-01-04)Photon-limited imaging is a core tool for the acquisition of precise quantitative data in a wide range of scientific endeavors, where parameters of an experiment are estimated. An important example is single molecule ...
-
(2021-05-19)Roboticists design robots by relying heavily on empirical knowledge and prior experience. That design process is seldom done in an automated fashion. This dissertation aims to automate robot design for robots for estimation ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)This thesis will investigate the impact of the use of the Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) on the state estimation problem. First, incorporation of the PMU measurements in a conventional state estimation program will be ...
