Experimental Analysis of Advanced Control and Estimation Systems for Autonomous Ship Landing
Abstract:
Penn State has conducted scale experiments of a complete auto-landing system in collaboration with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD). These experiments have taken advantage of low-cost commodities, electronics, and multi-rotor aircraft to demonstrate automatic landing capabilities via landings on ship models at the Carderock wave tank facilities. These experiments have dealt with the development and implementation of trajectory generation methods, scalable flight control laws, deck motion prediction algorithms, vision-based sensing, and state estimation.
