Abstract:
<p>Navigation with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires good knowledge of the current position and other states. A UAV navigation system often uses GPS and inertial sensors in a state estimation solution. If the GPS signal is lost or corrupted state estimation must still be possible and this is where simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) provides a solution. SLAM considers the problem of incrementally building a consistent map of a previously unknown environment and simultaneously localize itself within this map, thus a solution does not require position from the GPS receiver.</p><p

Abstract:
In urban environments, many drivers find it difficult to park, calling for an autonomous system to step in. Two path planning algorithms, Hybrid A* and RRT* Reeds-Shepp, were compared in parking scenarios with a small model car both in simulation and implementation. Two scenarios were tested: the vehicle facing inwards and outwards from the parking space, the latter requiring the vehicle to change direction at some point. The Hybrid A* algorithm proved to be more reliable than RRT* Reeds-Shepp since the latter generates random paths, while the first found longer paths that were not as optimal.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2004.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 235-236).<br>Autonomous orbital rendezvous with an orbiting sample (OS) is seen as an enabling technology for a Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission, so several demonstrations have been planned. With CNES cooperation a proposed rendezvous demonstration was governed by ITAR restrictions, and a guidance and navigation system was designed using a Precomputed Gain Kalman filter and targeting algorithms. Having lost CNES participation, the opportunity now exists

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2008.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 109-112).<br>We study the performance of a differential backlog routing algorithm in a network with random failures. Differential Backlog routing is a novel routing algorithm where packets are routed through multiple paths to their destinations based on queue backlog information. It is known that Differential Backlog routing maximizes the throughput capacity of the network; however little is known about practical implementations of Diff
