Chatterjee, Abhishek (author)The exceptional flight capabilities of insects have long amazed and inspired researchers and roboticists striving to make Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) smaller and more agile. It is well known that optical flow plays a prominent role in insect flight control and navigation, and hence it is being increasingly investigated for applications in...master thesis 2019

Solanki, Prashant (author)Quadcopters are becoming increasingly popular across diverse sectors such as mapping, photography, or surveillance. Since rotor damages occur frequently, it is essential to improve the attitude estimation and thus ultimately the ability to control a damaged quadcopter. The Control and Simulation group of TU Delft developed a quadcopter...master thesis 2020

Koumpis, Nikolaos (author)Attitude estimation is one of the basic processes of the attitude and orbit control system hosted by every satellite. The spacecraft should be orientated properly during the orbit, according to the mission objectives. The estimation is based on a plethora of sensors, like rate gyroscopes, star trackers, sun and earth sensors, magnetometers (for...master thesis 2020

Ali Nawaz, Ali (author)Though NanoSats are becoming increasingly capable of featuring active payloads, and acquiring inertial data at arcsec level precision; the payload operational duty-cycle largely remains limited by its data downlink capabilities. NanoSat laser communication terminal (LCT) promises 1 Gbps data downlink capabilities. However, LEO to ground free...master thesis 2020
