AAO Starbugs: software control and associated algorithms
Nuria P. F. Lorente, Minh V. Vuong, Keith Shortridge +7
The Australian Astronomical Observatory's TAIPAN instrument deploys 150 Starbug robots to position optical fibres to accuracies of 0.3 arcsec, on a 32 cm glass field plate on the f…
March of the Starbugs: Configuring Fibre-bearing Robots on the UK-Schmidt Optical Plane
Nuria P. F. Lorente, Minh Vuong, Christophe Satorre +4
The TAIPAN instrument, currently being developed for the Australian Astronomical Observatory's UK Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, makes use of the AAO's Starbug tec…
Field Target Allocation and Routing Algorithms for Starbugs
Michael Goodwin, Nuria P. F. Lorente, Christophe Satorre +3
Starbugs are miniaturised robotic devices that position optical fibres over a telescope's focal plane in parallel operation for high multiplex spectroscopic surveys. The key advant…
