Relative Entropy-Bounded Ambiguous Chance Constraints for Robust Planning in Nonlinear Systems
Trevor N. Wolf, Jay W. McMahon
We consider defining risk probability in stochastic control problems under distribution ambiguity. Current approaches for chance-constrained control typically assume that the true…
Approximate Relative Entropy Constraints for Nonlinear Covariance Steering Under Distribution Ambiguity
Trevor N. Wolf, Jay W. McMahon
Covariance steering provides an efficient framework for designing linear stochastic feedback policies, but its extension to nonlinear systems relies on a Gaussian surrogate obtaine…
Information-Driven Search and Track of Novel Space Objects
Trevor N. Wolf, Brandon A. Jones
Space surveillance depends on efficiently directing sensor resources to maintain custody of known catalog objects. However, it remains unclear how to best utilize these resources t…
Information-Based Trajectory Planning for Autonomous Absolute Tracking in Cislunar Space
Trevor N. Wolf, Brandon A. Jones
The resurgence of lunar operations requires advancements in cislunar navigation and Space Situational Awareness (SSA). Challenges associated to these tasks have created an interest…
JWST/NIRCam 4-5 m Imaging of the Giant Planet AF Lep b
Kyle Franson, William O. Balmer, Brendan P. Bowler +23
With a dynamical mass of , the recently discovered giant planet AF Lep b is the lowest-mass imaged planet with a direct mass measurement. Its youth and spectra…
