چکیده

The development of small, active robots is built around an iterative process of design, modeling, and verification. Accurate knowledge of vehicle position and velocity is crucial to verification, and so is essential for closing the loop of this iterative process. In this paper we present a method for detecting robust fiducials from a video of a robot moving in the image plane. We combine image processing techniques with an understanding of basic physical principles to first identify approximate robot location and then discover the most robust fiducial visible for at least 90% of the video. Keywords—robotics; MAVs; motion tracking; dynamics

Dynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages

A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
