A Data-Based Architecture for Flight Test without Test Points
D. Isaiah Harp, Joshua Ott, John Alora +1
The justification for the "test point" derives from the test pilot's obligation to reproduce faithfully the pre-specified conditions of some model prediction. Pilot deviation from…
Informative Input Design for Dynamic Mode Decomposition
Joshua Ott, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, Stephen Boyd
Efficiently estimating system dynamics from data is essential for minimizing data collection costs and improving model performance. This work addresses the challenge of designing f…
An Addendum to NeBula: Towards Extending TEAM CoSTAR's Solution to Larger Scale Environments
Ali Agha, Kyohei Otsu, Benjamin Morrell +86
This paper presents an appendix to the original NeBula autonomy solution developed by the TEAM CoSTAR (Collaborative SubTerranean Autonomous Robots), participating in the DARPA Sub…
Physics-informed Gaussian Processes for Safe Envelope Expansion
D. Isaiah Harp, Joshua Ott, Dylan M. Asmar +2
Flight test analysis often requires predefined test points with arbitrarily tight tolerances, leading to extensive and resource-intensive experimental campaigns. To address this ch…
Approximate Sequential Optimization for Informative Path Planning
Joshua Ott, Mykel J. Kochenderfer, Stephen Boyd
We consider the problem of finding an informative path through a graph, given initial and terminal nodes and a given maximum path length. We assume that a linear noise corrupted me…
