One of the most promising strategies for Active Debris Removal in Low Earth Orbits is the use of nets. In this work, a set of metrics are proposed to analyze the output space of simulations of net-based debris capture scenarios to determine capture success, based on geometrical analysis of the simulated net at various time steps. An overall index i...

Research efforts over the last few decades produced multiple wireless technologies, which are readily available to support communication between devices in various dynamic Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics applications. However, single radio technology can hardly deliver optimal performance across all critical quality of service (QoS) dimension...

Experimental results for testing the validity of GPS-denied relative attitude determination for a two-vehicle formation using line-of-sight (LOS) measurements in a static setting are presented. The experiments are conducted in the VICON environment. The estimated relative attitude given by the system is compared to the true relative attitude, compu...
