(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have the potential to perform many of the complex and possibly dangerous missions currently flown by manned aircraft. Within visual range air combat is an extremely difficult and dynamic ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)With the advance in the fields of computer science, control and optimization, it is now possible to build aerial vehicles which do not need pilots. An important capability for such autonomous vehicles is to be able to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Contemporary collision avoidance systems such as the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) have proven their effectiveness in the Commercial Aviation (CA) industry within the last decade. Yet, TCAS and many ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Reconfigurability in engineered systems is of increasing interest particularly in Aerospace Systems since it allows for resource efficiency, evolvability, and enhanced survivability. Although it is often regarded as a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)The losses of military and civilian aircraft due to control surface failures have prompted research into controllers with a degree of reconfiguration. This thesis will describe a design approach incorporating Model Predictive ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Continuously increasing demand for Earth observation in atmospheric research, disaster monitoring, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) has been met by responsive architectures such as unmanned aerial ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Experiences with Spirit and Opportunity, the twin Mars Exploration Rovers, showed that one of the major issues that needs to be addressed in order to expand the exploration capabilities of planetary rovers is that of wheel ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Reconfiguration is an important characteristic in furthering on-orbit servicing, assembly, and operations. Previous work has focused on large assemblers manipulating small payloads, where the dynamics of the assembler is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This thesis considers possible solutions to sample impoverishment, a well-known failure mode of the Rao-Blackwellized particle filter (RBPF) in simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAMI) situations that arises when ...
-
(Aerospace Computational Design Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000-02)Aeroelasticity is a critical consideration in the design of gas turbine engines, both for stability and forced response. Current aeroelastic models cannot provide high-fidelity aerodynamics in a form suitable for design ...
