Automatic Design of Task-specific Robotic Arms
Ruta Desai, Margarita Safonova, Katharina Muelling +1
We present an interactive, computational design system for creating custom robotic arms given high-level task descriptions and environmental constraints. Various task requirements…
Similarity indexing of exoplanets in search for potential habitability: application to Mars-like worlds
Madhu Kashyap Jagadeesh, S. B. Gudennavar, Urmi Doshi +1
Study of exoplanets is one of the main goals of present research in planetary sciences and astrobiology. Analysis of huge planetary data from space missions such as CoRoT and Keple…
Measurements of gondola motion on a stratospheric balloon flight
Margarita Safonova, K. Nirmal, A. G. Sreejith +9
Balloon experiments are an economically feasible method of conducting observations in astronomy that are not possible from the ground. The astronomical payload may include a telesc…
An Overview of High-Altitude Balloon Experiments at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics
Margarita Safonova, Akshata Nayak, A. G. Sreejith +8
We have initiated the High-Altitude Ballooning programme at Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, in the year 2011 with the primary purpose of developing and flying low-cost…
Large Scale Extinction Maps with UVIT
S. Ravichandran, Preethi Krishnamoorthy, Margarita Safonova +1
The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) is scheduled to be launched as a part of the ASTROSAT satellite. As part of the mission planning for the instrument we have studied the eff…
High-Altitude Ballooning Program at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics
A. Nayak, A. G. Sreejith, M. Safonova +1
We have begun a program of high altitude ballooning at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore. Recent advances in balloons as well as in electronics have made possible sci…
Planets in the Early Universe
Yu. A. Shchekinov, M. Safonova, J. Murthy
Several planets have recently been discovered around old metal-poor stars, implying that these planets are also old, formed in the early Universe. The canonical theory suggests tha…
