Event-Based Impulsive Control for Spacecraft Rendezvous Hovering Phases

Julio C. Sanchez, Christophe Louembet, Francisco Gavilan +1

This work presents an event-triggered controller for spacecraft rendezvous hovering phases. The goal is to maintain the chaser within a bounded region with respect to the target. T…

Chance-constrained Model Predictive Control for Near Rectilinear Halo Orbit spacecraft rendezvous

Julio C. Sanchez, Francisco Gavilan, Rafael Vazquez

This work presents a robust Model Predictive Controller (MPC) to solve the problem of spacecraft rendezvous in the context of the restricted three-body problem (R3BP) as will be re…

A flatness-based predictive controller for six-degrees of freedom spacecraft rendezvous

Julio C. Sanchez, Francisco Gavilan, Rafael Vazquez +1

This work presents a closed-loop guidance algorithm for six-degrees of freedom spacecraft rendezvous with a passive target flying in an eccentric orbit. The main assumption is that…

Towards a MATLAB Toolbox to compute backstepping kernels using the power series method

Xin Lin, Rafael Vazquez, Miroslav Krstic

In this paper, we extend our previous work on the power series method for computing backstepping kernels. Our first contribution is the development of initial steps towards a MATLA…

Gain-Only Neural Operators for PDE Backstepping

Rafael Vazquez, Miroslav Krstic

In this work we advance the recently-introduced deep learning-powered approach to PDE backstepping control by proposing a method that approximates only the control gain function --…

Gain Scheduling with a Neural Operator for a Transport PDE with Nonlinear Recirculation

Maxence Lamarque, Luke Bhan, Rafael Vazquez +1

To stabilize PDE models, control laws require space-dependent functional gains mapped by nonlinear operators from the PDE functional coefficients. When a PDE is nonlinear and its "…
