Adaptive Scale Factor Compensation for Missiles with Strapdown Seekers via Predictive Coding
Brian Gaudet
In this work we present a method to adaptively compensate for scale factor errors in both rotational velocity and seeker angle measurements. The adaptation scheme estimates the sca…
Six Degree-of-Freedom Body-Fixed Hovering over Unmapped Asteroids via LIDAR Altimetry and Reinforcement Meta-Learning
Brian Gaudet, Richard Linares, Roberto Furfaro
We optimize a six degrees of freedom hovering policy using reinforcement meta-learning. The policy maps flash LIDAR measurements directly to on/off spacecraft body-frame thrust com…
Marine Mammal Species Classification using Convolutional Neural Networks and a Novel Acoustic Representation
Mark Thomas, Bruce Martin, Katie Kowarski +2
Research into automated systems for detecting and classifying marine mammals in acoustic recordings is expanding internationally due to the necessity to analyze large collections o…
Seeker based Adaptive Guidance via Reinforcement Meta-Learning Applied to Asteroid Close Proximity Operations
Brian Gaudet, Richard Linares, Roberto Furfaro
Current practice for asteroid close proximity maneuvers requires extremely accurate characterization of the environmental dynamics and precise spacecraft positioning prior to the m…
