Deflective Sunshades: conceptual design and origami-inspired folding strategy
Benedetta Marazzato, Jonas Seiler, Harry Holt +5
Space-based solar radiation management has been proposed as a direct means of modulating Earth's radiative balance by reducing incident solar flux. A prominent concept consists of…
Reconfiguration of pivoting cube ensembles under local sensing constraints using geometric deep learning
Nadezhda Dobreva, Emmanuel Blazquez, Jai Grover +3
We demonstrate that local sensing is sufficient for effective global reconfiguration of homogeneous pivoting cube modular robots in two dimensions. While cube selection (i.e., whic…
Strong Structural Bounds for MaxSAT: The Fine Details of Using Neuromorphic and Quantum Hardware Accelerators
Max Bannach, Jai Grover, Markus Hecher
Hardware accelerators like quantum annealers or neuromorphic chips are capable of finding the ground state of a Hamiltonian. A promising route in utilizing these devices is via met…
Continuous Design and Reprogramming of Totimorphic Structures for Space Applications
Dominik Dold, Amy Thomas, Nicole Rosi +2
Recently, a class of mechanical lattices with reconfigurable, zero-stiffness structures has been proposed, called Totimorphic lattices. In this work, we introduce a computational f…
Asteroid Mining: ACT&Friends' Results for the GTOC 12 Problem
Dario Izzo, Marcus Märtens, Laurent Beauregard +8
In 2023, the 12th edition of Global Trajectory Competition was organised around the problem referred to as "Sustainable Asteroid Mining". This paper reports the developments that l…
Totimorphic structures for space application
Amy Thomas, Jai Grover, Dario Izzo +1
We propose to use a recently introduced Totimorphic metamaterial for constructing morphable space structures. As a first step to investigate the feasibility of this concept, we pre…
