Building a high-end aerial robot for research is a challenging task. Our aim in this paper is to design a compact hexacopter capable of high payload and has flexible gimbal and powerful onboard computer with $ 500. This hexacopter serves as a flying platform with great customizability, where different sensors can be mounted easily onto the hexacopter for new applications. We discuss our implementation...
In an asteroid exploration and sample return mission, accurate estimation of the shape and motion of the target asteroid is essential for selecting a touchdown site and navigating a spacecraft during touchdown operation. In this work, we present an automatic estimation method for the shape and motion of an asteroid, which is planned to be tested in future exploration missions including Japanese Hayabusa-2...
In this paper, we consider fast simultaneous estimation problem of the geometric shape of the asteroid and the relative motion of the spacecraft. In asteroid exploration missions, the information of asteroid shape and motion is needed to find suitable landing sites and navigate the spacecraft safely. In the previous HAYABUSA mission, large part of the estimation was performed manually by ground operators...
