Attitude determination is an important part of microsatellite attitude controlsystem. Its determination accuracy directly affects microsatellite's attitude control performance. Hence, a novel attitude determination approach is presented in this work for microsatellites with star sensor and gyros fixed. The factor graph representing the probabilistic graphical model as a bipartite graph is applied to solve the attitude estimation problem. This allows multi-rate, asynchronous, and possible delayed measurements to be incorporated in a natural way. An incremental smoothing algorithm is then proposed to achieve optimal estimation. Simulation results are finally presented to verify that the proposed approach can significantly improve the attitude determination accuracy.

Different articles have published serial communication characteristics measurements for real-time controlsystem (RCS). However, most of them focused on latency time measurements. Articles addressing a specific case with a combination of non-deterministic time elements such as rotary encoder (RE) and serial peripheral interface (SPI) are limited. This paper proposed a method to cope with a non-deterministic time due to the RE pulse timing by using a separate processor to handle pulse signals from the RE and time delay measurements of the SPI signal. It investigated the consumption time of each process, i.e., reading sensor signal, calculating control command, and sending control command. We used a microcontroller instead of a personal or industrial computer since the controlsystem will be embedded in an electric vehicle (EV) for drive-by-wire (DbW) function. We obtained the experimental results of 4.42 mu s and 6 mu s for reading the sensor signal and sending the control command, respectively. The microcontroller required 1.2 mu s to complete a simple control command calculation. The approach presented in this paper can generally be used for sampling time value determination in designing a RCS using the RE as sensor and SPI for sending the control command signals to the actuators. We obtained the appropriate sampling time value of 25 ms. It will be used for designing a feedback controller.

Exoplanet direct imaging using adaptive optics (AO) is often limited by non-common path aberrations (NCPAs) and aberrations that are invisible to traditional pupil-plane wavefront sensors (WFSs). This can be remedied by focal-plane (FP) WFSs that characterize aberrations directly from a final science image. Photonic lanterns (PLs) can act as low-order FPWFSs with the ability to direct some light to downstream science instruments. Using a PL on the SEAL (Santa Cruz Extreme AO Laboratory) high-contrast imaging testbed, we demonstrate (1) linear ranges and (2) closed-loop control. Additionally, we simulate the use of the PL in a multi-wavefront sensor AO system, in which multiple WFSs feed back to the same common-path deformable mirror. Building on previous multi-WFS AO demonstrations on SEAL, we simulate a modulated pyramid WFS to sense aberrations of high spatial order and large amplitude, and the PL to sense low order aberrations including NCPAs. We assess adaptive optics performance in this setting using three different PL wavefront reconstruction algorithms. We also provide a new method to experimentally identify the propagation matrix of a PL, making advanced model-based algorithms practical. This work demonstrates the role of photonic technologies and multi-stage wavefront sensing in the context of extreme AO and high contrast imaging.

Sensing is essential in human cooperative robots to realize safe and powerful operations against contact with the surrounding environment. Contact sensing has been studied for manipulators to avoid accidents caused by collisions between humans and robots. Conventional research has demonstrated that contact sensing requires many sensors or has a limited measurable range. In the conventional research without sensors, pre-identified system models, such as frictional force and plant parameters, have been used to estimate the contact force. However, a high reduction ratio mechanism for achieving powerful operations hinders accurate force estimation. This study proposes a force controlsystem based on only one force/torque sensor on the base frame of the manipulator. The proposal provides an accurate estimation of the contact force and the contact position on a manipulator with a high reduction ratio mechanism. Furthermore, by using the proposal, the contact force and contact position can be detected regardless of the location where the contact force is applied. The validity of the basic principle of the proposal was confirmed in one degree of freedom system through experiments. The results show that the proposal can be controlled with a maximum error of 0.13 N.

Motivated by the recent interest in the modernization of the traditional manufacturing facilities, this work focuses on the development of an automated warehouse where mobile manipulators autonomously navigate in the environment by exploiting additional spatial information gathered by a network of fixed RGB-D sensors. In detail, a navigation approach is proposed wherein both the mobile and fixed nodes composing the system are low-cost devices characterized by limited sensing and computing capabilities. A ROS2-based proof of concept of the outlined scenario is discussed and investigated with special regard to the practical challenges and the possible limitations. The results of some preliminary tests are reported to provide an intuition on the feasibility and potentiality of the designed approach in real-world industrial scenarios.
