In-Situ Reconstruction of the International Space Station Using 3D Gaussian Splatting and Astrobee
Hudson Kim, Ryan Soussan, Brian Coltin +1
This article presents a novel 3D reconstruction and mapping of the interior of the International Space Station (ISS) using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS). Using existing grayscale im…
Air Traffic Control Using Large Language Models: Prompt Engineering, Architecture, and Evaluation
Mahyar Ghazanfari, Matthias Casanova, Jordan Kam +4
Air traffic control (ATC) communication is a safety-critical dialogue that remains largely human-driven even as other parts of air traffic management have been semi-automated. In t…
Dynamic Lane Allocation in UAM Corridors for Efficient Multimodal Door-to-Door Mobility
Jung Ho Park, Jordan Kam, Vishwanath Bulusu +2
This article presents dynamic directional lane allocation in urban air mobility (UAM) corridors as a discrete-time mixed-integer linear program (MILP). This formulation activates,…
Hamilton--Jacobi Reachability for Spacecraft Collision Avoidance
Larry Hui, Jordan Kam, William Su +1
This article presents a Hamilton--Jacobi (HJ) reachability framework for a two--satellite collision avoidance problem operating in the same circular orbit, where relative motion is…
A Dexterous and Compliant Gripper With Soft Hydraulic Actuation for Microgravity Manipulation
William Su, Jordan Kam, Yixiao Wang +1
Astrobee's existing one-degree-of-freedom (DOF) underactuated compliant claw gripper enables perching on the International Space Station (ISS), but provides limited capability for…
Towards Automated Air Traffic Safety Assessment Around Non-Towered Airports Using Large Language Models
Torsten Darrell, Mahyar Ghazanfari, Jordan Kam +3
We investigate frameworks for post-flight safety analysis at non-towered airports using large language models (LLMs). Non-towered airports rely on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequ…
