    Autogenetic Gravity Center Placement

    Autogenetic Gravity Center Placement by Timothy Sands

    Published 2025-06-01

    Operations by space drones mandate significant autonomy. This study experimentally evaluates key proposed applications of autonomy. Center of gravity auto-location is proposed using autonomous identification of mass properties, necessitating nonlinear state estimation. Nonlinear, coupled governing k...
