Towards Stable Interstellar Flight: Levitation of a Laser-Propelled Sailcraft*
Afroza Shirin, Edl Schamiloglu, Rafael Fierro
Exploring and traveling to distant stars has long fascinated humanity but has been limited due to the vast distances. The Breakthrough Starshot Program aims at eliminating this lim…
Real-time Quadrotor Navigation Through Planning in Depth Space in Unstructured Environments
Shakeeb Ahmad, Rafael Fierro
This paper addresses the problem of real-time vision-based autonomous obstacle avoidance in unstructured environments for quadrotor UAVs. We assume that our UAV is equipped with a…
Exploiting Heterogeneous Robotic Systems in Cooperative Missions
Nicola Bezzo, Joshua P. Hecker, Karl Stolleis +2
In this paper we consider the problem of coordinating robotic systems with different kinematics, sensing and vision capabilities to achieve certain mission goals. An approach that…
Decentralized identification and control of networks of coupled mobile platforms through adaptive synchronization of chaos
Nicola Bezzo, Patricio J. Cruz Davalos, Francesco Sorrentino +1
In this paper we propose an application of adaptive synchronization of chaos to detect changes in the topology of a mobile robotic network. We assume that the network may evolve in…
Stability analysis of a model for the market dynamics of a smart grid
F. Sorrentino, D. Tolic, R. Fierro +2
We consider the dynamics of a smart grid system characterized by widespread distributed generation and storage devices. We assume that agents are free to trade electric energy over…
