To facilitate the development of accessible space-bound robotic explorers, this work demonstrates a novel communication architecture intended for scientific CanSats. As low-cost terrestrial simulation platforms for orbital satellites, CanSats provide a valuable proving ground for new technologies or techniques. CanSats are also a considerably more accessible technological frontier than orbital CubeSats, as CanSats are lower in cost to develop and retain fewer operational requirements. Multiple low-cost CanSats and a simple Base Station were developed using Commercial-Off- The-Shelf (COTS) components. The bimodal modulation technique utilizes Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) as a means for transferring data packets between the devices, while the delay between multiple ASK trains modulates additional Pseudo Morse Code (PMC) information that is audibly decodable with a handheld amateur radio receiver or digitally with a Software Defined Radio (SDR). The presented framework could be a valuable addition to telemetry beacons for orbital satellites that are seeking to engage the open-source or amateur radio communities.

This paper introduces a novel modular design paradigm for Scientific CanSats, offering a cost-effective platform for testing space-related hardware in near-space environments with reduced developmental timelines. By harnessing Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) products alongside open-source technologies, this framework emphasizes quick integration of diverse scientific instruments and control systems. The core architectural elements comprise: (1) a unified power and communication bus, (2) standardized mechanical attachments and interfaces, and (3) distributed computing and data management. To validate the effectiveness and adaptability of this design, undergraduate students were engaged to design modules adhering to the established standards. This approach facilitated the creation of an adaptable ecosystem of Command and Sensor Modules, enabling swift assembly and reconfiguration of CanSats with diverse scientific potentials. Remarkably, students transitioned from conceptual design to tangible modules within a semester, while CanSat assembly and reconfiguration from existing modules took five and four minutes respectively.

The Stewart Platform, a sophisticated robotic mechanism known for its precision positioning and orientation in six degrees of freedom (6-DOF), is utilized as a testbed for the proposed solution. The unique design of the platform, combining translational and rotational movements, makes it suitable for applications that demand high accuracy and rapid position and orientation adjustments. It is widely used in sectors like flight simulators, animatronics, underwater research, and medical devices. This research presents an innovative solution for the inverse kinematics problem of the Stewart platform parallel robot by synergistically integrating mathematical modeling and deep learning techniques. The study introduces a fusion of fully connected neural networks and mathematical models, harnessing the computational prowess and adaptability of deep learning and the precision of established mathematical theories.

Dynamic models are necessary when dealing with robotic applications where requirements of dexterity, manipulability, payload and compliance have to be satisfied at the same time. This work considers a particular design of tendon-actuated snake-like robots in which links are not coupled through mechanical joints but are free to roll between each other under the effect of cable tension forces. The state of the art in modeling these tendon-actuated rolling-joints systems is limited to kinematic and quasi-static models. In order to simultaneously guarantee modeling accuracy and suitability for model-based control, the Newton-Euler (NE) formulation has been adopted, by taking into account the forces and moments generated by cable tensions, links interactions, inertias, and friction between the rolling surfaces.

DC motors are used in a wide variety of applications. These applications include car seats, wipers, windshields, doors, power tools, etc. Although permanent magnet DC motors are mostly common types, the separately exited DC motors have more utilization in industrial applications, especially for speed control. In this paper, different variable impedance techniques are utilized to control the speed of the DC motors using open-loop control techniques. Furthermore, a fuzzy logic-based controller is used to automatically generate the required armature and field impedances required for the desired motor speed.
