Nonlinear Control and Synchronization of Precision Formation Flying Spacecraft
Accomplished Results at MIT (with Prof. David W. Miller)
Presented one of the first proofs for the synchronization of multiple Lagrangian Systems (with Prof. Slotine). Applications include cooperative robot control and synchronization of robots.arXiv:0711.1709
Developed decentralized nonlinear control and synchronization of spatially interconnected systems. (PDF)
Reported the first propellant-free underactuated control results for tethered formation Flying spacecraft.(PDF)
Developed a new relative sensing mechanism that uses 6-DOF force-torque sensors
and rate gyroscopes.
Our work on tethered formation flying was introduced in the new book, Dynamics Analysis of Space Tether Missions written by Dr. Eugen Levin.
