Control: algorithms of gyro-force control of the orientation of the EAS; algorithms of multicopter control; swarm tasks and technologies
3. Key Projects
Development of methods and algorithms for modeling UAV swarm behavior:
Development and modeling of control algorithms for individual MCs and development of a complex of algorithms for planning, control, and navigation of MCs as part of a swarm.
Development of algorithmic support for aircraft navigation and control systems in conditions of obstacles or incomplete information:
The research complex will allow developing improved algorithmic and software support for on-board aircraft navigation and control systems, taking into account possible obstacles in receiving external information or failures of their own measuring sensors.
Investigation of thermal influence on errors in orientation systems used in aerospace engineering:
The goal of the project is the development and improvement of existed methods and algorithms, the development of workable technique for evaluating the thermal and deformed state of instruments of the Earth’s space satellites, and on their basis, the improvement of the method of errors compensation during the operation of fiber-optic gyroscopes, which takes into account data on temperature and deformation distributions.
