Optimal Stochastic Sensor Error Modeling based on Actual Impact on Quality of GNSS-INS Integrated Navigation

Jan Skaloud, Stéphane Guerrier, Mehran Khaghani

Proper modeling of stochastic errors in inertial sensors plays a crucial role in the achievable quality of GNSS-INS integration especially with low-cost inertial sensors. Generalized Method of Wavelet Moments (GMWM) can model the underlying process for suc ...

Calibration Aspects of INS Navigation

Philipp Clausen

The use of a Bayesian filter (e.g., Kalman filter) for the fusion of information from satellite positioning and inertial navigation is a common approach in many applications, where the knowledge of position, velocity, and attitude in space are of great int ...

Haptic feedback perception and learning with cable-driven guidance in exosuit teleoperation of a simulated drone

Auke Ijspeert, Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Amy Roning Wu, Carine Rognon

Robotics teleoperation enables human operators to control the movements of distally located robots. The development of new wearable interfaces as alternatives to hand-held controllers has created new modalities of control, which are more intuitive to use. ...

An Inertial Parallel and Asynchronous Forward-Backward Iteration for Distributed Convex Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Georgios Stathopoulos

Two characteristics that make convex decomposition algorithms attractive are simplicity of operations and generation of parallelizable structures. In principle, these schemes require that all coordinates update at the same time, i.e., they are synchronous ...

VDM-based UAV Attitude Determination in Absence of IMU Data

Jan Skaloud, Mehran Khaghani

The capability of a previously proposed VDM (vehicle dynamic model) based navigation method for UAVs is assessed in attitude determination without IMU data. This method utilizes the VDM as main process model within the navigation filter and treats data fro ...

Vision Based Navigation for Autonomous Cooperative Docking of CubeSats

Volker Gass, Camille Sébastien Pirat

A realistic rendezvous and docking navigation solution applicable to CubeSats is investigated. The scalability analysis of the ESA Autonomous Transfer Vehicle Guidance, Navigation & Control (GNC) performances and the Russian docking system, shows that the ...

Vehicle Dynamic Model Based Navigation for Small UAVs

Mehran Khaghani

The dominant navigation system for small civilian UAVs today is based on integration of inertial navigation system (INS) and global navigation satellite system (GNSS). This strategy works well to navigate the UAV, as long as proper reception of GNSS signal ...
