Spacecraft Robotic Simulators
Hardware, control, and vision-based navigation for free-floating spacecraft simulators at Caltech ARCL
I developed hardware, control systems, and vision-based navigation software for the Spacecraft Robotic Simulators at Caltech’s Aerospace Robotics and Control Lab (ARCL).
Here’s a demonstration video we’ve done with the simulators:
I was part of the JPL R&TD 3x System Level Autonomy Strategic Initiative, implementing MEXEC and MONSID on the simulators.
