Experimental Demonstration of a Decentralized Electromagnetic Formation Flying Control Using Alternating Magnetic Field Forces
Sumit S. Kamat, Ajin Sunny, T. Michael Seigler +1
Electromagnetic formation flying (EMFF) is challenging due to the complex coupling between the electromagnetic fields generated by each satellite in the formation. To address this…

Safe Landing on Small Celestial Bodies with Gravitational Uncertainty Using Disturbance Estimation and Control Barrier Functions
Felipe Arenas-Uribe, T. Michael Seigler, Jesse B. Hoagg
Soft landing on small celestial bodies (SCBs) poses unique challenges, as gravitational models poorly characterize the higher-order gravitational effects of SCBs. Existing control…

Electromagnetic Formation Flying Using Alternating Magnetic Field Forces and Control Barrier Functions for State and Input Constraints
Sumit S. Kamat, T. Michael Seigler, Jesse B. Hoagg
This article presents a feedback control algorithm for electromagnetic formation flying with constraints on the satellites' states and control inputs. The algorithm combines severa…
