This paper presents an integrated lander-propulsion-GNC framework for autonomous lunar powered descent. The BUG VTVL test vehicle serves as the reference platform, with the YUNT V0 throttleable biprop…
Fluid antenna systems (FAS) achieve spatial diversity by dynamically switching among $N$ densely packed ports, but the resulting spatially correlated Rayleigh channels render exact outage analysis int…
We present a complete infrastructure-less magneto-inductive (MI) localization system enabling a lightweight UAV to autonomously hover, track, and land with centimeter precision on a mobile quadruped r…
A framework of continuous-aperture array (CAPA)-based integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) under a fading communication channel is proposed. A continuous operator-based signal model is develop…
In flood disaster rescue scenarios, partially submerged buildings prevent aerial robots from accessing lower levels, limiting mission effectiveness. To address this challenge, this paper presents Wuko…
The temporal and spatial analysis of river dynamics is a key factor for studying and understanding human impacts on floodplains. To assess the changes taking place, it is necessary to have high-resolu…
Aerial insects can effortlessly navigate dense vegetation, whereas similarly sized aerial robots typically depend on offboard sensors and computation to maintain stable flight. This disparity restrict…
This paper proposes a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) target detection algorithm based on the CLEAN concept and truncated statistics to mitigate the non-homogeneity of reference samples caused by sid…
Spaceborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) systems, such as NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), provide forest structure for global carbon assessments. However, geolocation unce…
Future planetary exploration missions demand high-performance, fault-tolerant computing to enable autonomous Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) and Lander Vision System (LVS) operations during En…
India achieved a significant milestone on August $23^{\text{rd}}$ 2023, becoming the fourth country to accomplish a soft landing on the Moon. This paper presents the powered descent trajectory design …
Networks of coupled nonlinear oscillators are emerging as powerful physical platforms for implementing Ising machines. Yet the relationship between parametric-oscillator implementations and traditiona…
This paper considers the problem of adapting a predesigned policy, represented by a parameterized function class, from a solution that minimizes a given original cost function to a trade-off solution …
Deploying vertical bifacial PV modules can play a significant role in agrivoltaics, fencing walls, noise barriers, building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), solar PV for electric vehicles, and many ot…
Land-air bimodal robots (LABR) are gaining attention for autonomous navigation, combining high mobility from aerial vehicles with long endurance from ground vehicles. However, existing LABR navigation…
Identifying the actual cause of events in engineered systems is a fundamental challenge in system analysis. Finding such causes becomes more challenging in the presence of noise and stochastic behavio…
Our Robust, Explainable Autonomy for Scientific Icy Moon Operations (REASIMO) effort contributes to NASA's Concepts for Ocean worlds Life Detection Technology (COLDTech) program, which explores scienc…
High-resolution soil moisture (SM) observations are critical for agricultural monitoring, forestry management, and hazard prediction, yet current satellite passive microwave missions cannot directly p…
Olive production is an important tree crop in Mediterranean climates. However, olive yield varies significantly due to climate change. Accurately estimating yield using remote sensing and machine lear…
Autonomous landing is essential for drones deployed in emergency deliveries, post-disaster response, and other large-scale missions. By enabling self-docking on charging platforms, it facilitates cont…
