Learning in Orbit: Onboard Training and Closed-Loop Attitude Control with a Thermal Segmentation Model on a Spacecraft
Elena Sorina Lupu, Hannah Grauer, Phaedrus Leeds +9
Deep space missions increasingly require spacecraft capable of autonomously operating in environments with communication delays and bandwidth limitations. A key enabler of such aut…
The Open Ant: A Robot Platform for Reinforcement Learning Research
Elena Sorina Lupu, Patrick Spieler, Khurram Javed +4
Reinforcement learning (RL) research has demonstrated success in both physical and simulated domains; however, the predominant methodology remains rooted in simulations. The predom…
Planetary Exploration 3.0: A Roadmap for Software-Defined, Radically Adaptive Space Systems
Masahiro Ono, Daniel Selva, Morgan L. Cable +23
The surface and subsurface of worlds beyond Mars remain largely unexplored. Yet these worlds hold keys to fundamental questions in planetary science - from potentially habitable su…
Vision-Based Detection of Uncooperative Targets and Components on Small Satellites
Hannah Grauer, Elena-Sorina Lupu, Connor Lee +5
Space debris and inactive satellites pose a threat to the safety and integrity of operational spacecraft and motivate the need for space situational awareness techniques. These unc…
MAGIC-VFM: Meta-learning Adaptation for Ground Interaction Control with Visual Foundation Models
Elena Sorina Lupu, Fengze Xie, James A. Preiss +3
Control of off-road vehicles is challenging due to the complex dynamic interactions with the terrain. Accurate modeling of these interactions is important to optimize driving perfo…
Adaptive Nonlinear Control of Fixed-Wing VTOL with Airflow Vector Sensing
Xichen Shi, Patrick Spieler, Ellande Tang +3
Fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft pose a unique control challenge that stems from complex aerodynamic interactions between wings and rotors. Thus, accurate e…
