An input normal form homotopy for the L/sup 2/ optimal model order reduction problem
TL;DR: A homotopy algorithm based on the input normal form characterization of the reduced-order model is developed here and is compared with the Homotopy algorithms based on Hyland and Bernstein's optimal projection equations.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sampling-Based Trajectory Generation for Autonomous Spacecraft Rendezvous and Docking
TL;DR: In this paper, a sampling-based model predictive optimization (SBMPO) algorithm is proposed for direct trajectory generation for autonomous spacecraft rendezvous using sampling with a distance or time cost function to be minimized.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Terrain identification on a one-legged hopping robot using high-resolution pressure images.
TL;DR: The findings of this paper suggest the methodology can be extended to autonomous field robots, providing the robot with crucial information about the environment that can be used to aid stability over rough terrains and enhance motion planning over varying terrains.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Fuzzy behavior navigation for an unmanned helicopter in unknown environments
TL;DR: A novel defuzzification method for 3D navigation systems is developed to generate the most desired flying orientation of UAVs using reactive fuzzy behaviors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Motion planning for steep hill climbing
TL;DR: Sampling Based Model Predictive Control (SBMPC), a recently developed input sampling planning algorithm that may be viewed as a generalization of LPA* to the direct use of kinodynamic models, is used to ensure that the AGV has the requisite momentum.
