Andrea Valmorbida CISAS G.Colombo Center of Studies and Activities for Space October 23, 2015 DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA INDUSTRIALE Development of a camera-aided optical mouse sensors based localization system for a free floating planar robot 1
2 Outline Background and motivation The SPARTANS project Second year activities: overview Localization system prototype Software development Fly Your Thesis! PACMAN project Conclusions 2
3 SPARTANS Project Motivation SPACE DEBRIS The major risk to space missions European Space Agency Clean Space Initiative Debris Mitigation Re-entry in LEO Debris Remediation Active removal of decommissioned spacecraft Automated Rendezvous and Docking (AR&D) On-Orbit Servicing and Assembly (OS&A) New kind of Actuators, Sensors and GN&C systems Satellite Formation Flight (SFF) Validation of hardware and software Advanced Guidance, Navigation and Control (GN&C) Algorithms Education Satellite Navigation Rendezvous and Capture with a noncooperating target Sensors and Actuators for relative motion estimation and control Ground-based Testbed SPARTANS PROJECT Scientific Research Space Robotics Electrodynamic Tethers Space Instrumentation Automatic Control Space Systems 3
4 SPARTANS Project Overview SPARTANS: cooperating SPAcecRaft Testbed for Autonomous proximity operations experiments Representative dynamic environment for the development and verification on ground of: Sensors and algorithms for relative navigation; Coupled position and attitude control algorithms. ATTITUDE MODULE (AM) three rotational degrees of freedom provided by mechanical gimbals TRANSLATIONAL MODULE (TM) two position degrees of freedom traslating on a glass-covered table using a low friction air cushion system 4
5 Localization System Prototype Overview Main objectives development of a first prototype of the localization system for the SPARTANS testbed. determine the position and orientation of the TM with respect to a global inertial reference frame. Measurement Testbed Experimental Setup 1 USB Camera (1280 x 720 resolution) 3 Optical Mouse Sensors (Avago Technologies ADNS 3080) On-board electronics (Arduino Uno) Z Contactless measurement system High-frequency acquisition Good accuracy in the short term period Low-frequency acquisition system Reset the uncertainty level of the high frequency segment θ Y X On-board fiducial markers Translational Module Ground-based fiducial markers 5
