Supervisory Coordination of Robotic Fiber Positioners in Multi-Object Spectrographs
Matin Macktoobian, Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Kneib
In this paper, we solve the complete coordination problem of robotic fiber positioners using supervisory control theory. In particular, we model positioners and their behavioral sp…
Learning convergence prediction of astrobots in multi-object spectrographs
Matin Macktoobian, Francesco Basciani, Denis Gillet +1
Astrobot swarms are used to capture astronomical signals to generate the map of the observable universe for the purpose of dark energy studies. The convergence of each swarm in the…
Astrobotics: Swarm Robotics for Astrophysical Studies
Matin Macktoobian, Denis Gillet, Jean-Paul Kneib
This paper introduces the emerging field of astrobotics, that is, a recently-established branch of robotics to be of service to astrophysics and observational astronomy. We first d…
