Multi‐Objective Bayesian Co‐Optimization of Parameterized Moving Horizon Estimation and Model Predictive Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a Machine Learning (ML)‐enabled estimator‐controller design framework, in which a parameterized Model Predictive Controller (MPC) and a parameterized Moving Horizon Estimator (MHE) are jointly refined using Bayesian Optimization (BO).

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

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

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Geometric Characterization of LEO–GEO Inter‐Satellite Links for Bidirectional Communications

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Incorporating geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can extend communication services far beyond the reach of terrestrial infrastructure. A key enabler of such architectures is the establishment of inter‐satellite links (ISLs) between LEOs and GEOs to support bidirectional communications.

TRM‐to‐concrete interface bond without anchors: Combined experimental, analytical, and numerical modeling approach

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) systems have emerged as an effective alternative to conventional FRP strengthening solutions due to their compatibility with concrete substrates and favorable performance under adverse environmental conditions.

Embedded Interactions and Selective Disclosure: Network Effects on Conversations aboard Skylab

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
How do absent others influence our interactions? We argue in this paper that interactions are embedded within networks formed by chains of specific relationships between known third parties. The anticipation of future interactions with external others conditions our interpretation of the current situation and affects our behavior in the interaction. We

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to

YOLO‐GDCNN: Real‐Time Operating Point Detection for Live Working Robots in the Power Industry

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the power industry maintenance, the capability of live working robots to detect and operate with power components in real time is paramount. This paper proposes a cascaded detection framework for real‐time detection of live working operation points, named YOLO‐GDCNN. The framework consists of two parts.
