From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Autonomous Decision‐Making for Cooperative Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles: A Search and Rescue Real World Application

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Analysis of tip-tilt compensation for reflective free-space optical satellite communication

, 2019
Atmospheric turbulences limit the achievable performance of free-space optical (FSO) satellite communication systems. Particularly in retro-reflective FSO satellite communication, tip-tilt disturbances are a dominant source of performance degradation and

D‐stroi – a uniaxial load frame for X‐ray diffraction and imaging

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
A remote miniature load frame for X‐ray diffraction and imaging applications is presented. The load frame has been assessed for mechanical stability and suitability for various synchrotron X‐ray‐based techniques.We present a remotely controlled miniature load frame for in situ tensile deformation of millimetre‐sized metal samples in synchrotron X‐ray ...
