Simulation of a LEO satellite with autonomous debris avoidance, optical debris detection, attitude correction, and cyber-attack resilience — built in the Basilisk simulator.
Suite of autonomous driving demonstrations combining nonlinear MPC with control barrier functions (CBF-nMPC) for provably safe lane changes with dynamic obstacles.
Novel algorithm for detecting orbital debris from images taken by a moving space-based observer, using optical flow background removal that preserves faint objects.
