Abstract: This paper presents a formulation and methodologies for a vision-aided inertial navigation system designed for autonomous landing or proximity operation. Measurements from a monocular camera are integrated with inertial ...

Abstract: Image feature-based localization and mapping applications useful in field robotics are considered in this paper. Exploiting the continuity of image features and building upon the tracking algorithms that use point ...

Abstract: This work examines the closed-loop deployment of spacecraft servicing modules onto an uncontrolled bundle of assembly components as a method of gaining custody during the in-space assembly process. Minimum energy, low-thrust ...
