PhDAER Seminar: DESENSITIZED OPTIMAL CONTROL: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS 🕐 Monday, September 9, 2024, from 09:30 until 11:00 📌 Sala Consiglio DAER - Dipartimento di Scienze e Tecnologie Aerospaziali, Building B12, 2nd floor - Politecnico di Milano, Campus Bovisa, Via La Masa, 34, Milano (MI) 🔊 Dr. Hans Seywald, Analytical Mechanics Associates Inc. Info on our website https://lnkd.in/d5NY-fEB Desensitized Optimal Control (DOC) enables the formulation of optimal control problems that incorporate the optimal reference solution’s sensitivities to state perturbations into the optimization process. This is achieved through the introduction of Lagrange multiplier-like quantities that act as additional state variables, capturing the desired sensitivity information. The DOC approach yields an optimal control problem with additional states representing sensitivities and additional controls representing gains in the sensitivity dynamics. By penalizing user-specified sensitivities, the reference solution becomes easier to control under feedback, improving nonlinear robustness. The DOC approach can also improve robustness to parameter uncertainties by converting fixed parameters to state variables with trivial dynamics. With an appropriate cost index, the DOC approach reduces to covariance shaping. The Intrinsic DOC (IDOC) variant forces DOC gains to match neighboring optimal control gains. #DAER #AerospacePolimi Politecnico di Milano DART Team - Polimi Francesco Topputo

Chi siamo
Three elements lie behind the foundation of the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology (DAER): the worldwide importance of the aerospace engineering field, a keen awareness of the role of a technical University in this field and a solid background in aerospace engineering at Politecnico di Milano. Our vision is to be internationally recognized as one of the leading institutions in the world’s aerospace community, pursuing excellence in research, education and knowledge transfer. The mission of the Department aims at achieving highly ambitious scientific, educational and societal goals: - to preserve and advance knowledge in aerospace engineering through cutting edge research in order to find solutions to present and future demands of society; - to intensively pursue fundamental research to provide solutions for tomorrow’s problems; - to create and develop forefront technologies to play a proactive role in our partnership with the aerospace industry; - to provide students with a solid background in aerospace engineering and train qualified engineers for leadership positions in several technical fields in society; - to make the Department a leader in the national and international aerospace community. DAER is now carrying out research and training activities in a broad aerospace context, focusing in particular on the most advanced and challenging engineering fields. By virtue of its inherited tradition and nature, the Department’s activities will transcend the limits of the aerospace field and will export advanced technologies to other areas of human civilization. The Department’s activities will affect different areas of society, including the effectiveness, efficiency and safety of atmospheric and space vehicles, environmental protection in aerial transportation, the exploitation of wind as a source of energy, the exploration of space, the training of highly professional engineers.

I'm delighted to announce the third issue 2024 of the #CEAS #Aeronautical Journal! Volume 15, Issue 3 is now available online: a Special Issue on "Advances in Rotorcraft Research and Technology" 🚁https://lnkd.in/ewUcUJEB. Rotorcraft technology is going through a period of intense development. In addition to the traditional disciplines such as aero-acoustics, aerodynamics, dynamics, flight dynamics, human factors, structures and materials, to name but a few - other aspects are emerging. Unmanned aircraft and their autonomous operation, automation in support of manned aircraft, crew management and coordination, special operations e.g. on ship decks, and much, much interdisciplinarity have emerged as the topics most addressed in the 12 papers selected for this issue. Please look at the Editorial for more details and an overview: https://lnkd.in/ewnM_r_t (DOI: 10.1007/s13272-024-00761-7) A big thank you to the Guest Editors Pierangelo Masarati, Anthony Gardner, Mike Jones, Ph.D, Marilena Pavel and all (anonymous) reviewers!

Large satellite constellations in low Earth orbit have opened up exciting new possibilities for space-based services, but they also come with significant challenges such as dealing with failed satellites that cannot perform their end-of-life disposal. Constellation-servicing active debris removal (ADR) is a potential solution to deal with these satellites. Among the many challenges to establish such a service, is the planning of the sequence of satellites to be visited for removal, depending on the characteristics of the constellation, of the servicing spacecraft, and the number of failed satellites. An Open Access paper (https://lnkd.in/dwqFGq2D) recently published in Advanced in Space Research by Adrián Barea and Hodei Urrutxua from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and Juan Luis Gonzalo Gómez and Camilla Colombo from Politecnico di Milano proposes a framework for preliminary ADR mission analysis, based on constraint programming techniques. The framework quantifies the performance of a set of predefined mission choices with respect to the mission requirements. Moreover, if a poor performance is shown or if the mission choices have not been previously obtained, appropriate mission choices are generated so that the desired performance is optimised. #DAER #AerospacePoliMi COMPASS PoliMi

Professor Francesco Topputo from the Department of Aerospace Science and Technology of Politecnico di Milano wins another grant from the European Research Council (ERC) with the project AXESS – “Accelerated X-in-the-Loop Environment for Spacecraft Systems Testing”. AXESS has been awarded the prestigious Proof-of-Concept (PoC), a grant accessible solely to the principal investigators of an ERC project. The objective of the PoC is to develop a Test-as-a-Service (TaaS) platform for simulating autonomous spacecraft technologies. This is the fourth ERC grant awarded to Prof. Topputo, after the €2M Consolidator Grant for EXTREMA – “Engineering Extremely Rare Events in Astrodynamics for Deep-Space Missions in Autonomy” of 2019, the 2021 PoC project SENSE – “A Sensor for Autonomous Navigation in Deep Space”, and the 2022 PoC project GUIDO – “A Computing Unit for Autonomous Spacecraft Guidance in Deep Space”. ℹ Read the full press release here https://lnkd.in/dWePR67Z #ERCPoC #DAER #AerospacePoliMi DART Team - Polimi

🎇 FESTA D'ESTATE DAER 2024 - ANNUAL DAER REUNION 18 luglio 2024, l'estate è decisamente arrivata e come di consueto è andato in scena il tradizionale #DAER SUMMER PARTY, un bel momento di serenità per tutti gli amici DAER che hanno così l'occasione di ritrovarsi, prima delle meritate ferie, e soprattutto di vivere sempre nuove esperienze legate al mondo dell'aerospazio. Quest'anno la festa si è svolta in una location davvero unica, il Civico Osservatorio Astronomico di Rozzano che sorge nel parco del Centro Culturale Cascina Grande, polo culturale della città e sede della Biblioteca Civica. Caldo e zanzare non hanno fermato gli oltre 200 partecipanti che, in compagnia di amici e famiglie, si sono riuniti per trascorrere ore spensierate, allietate da due attività insolite e interessanti. Grazie all'appassionato Gruppo Astrofili di Rozzano, si sono aperte in esclusiva per il DAER le porte dell'Osservatorio. Gli astrofili hanno narrato la nascita e le attività della Cupola e dei suoi spazi e hanno accompagnato i presenti in due magici momenti di osservazione del Sole e della Luna con l'ausilio dei loro incredibili telescopi. Inoltre, le bibliotecarie e i bibliotecari della Biblioteca Cascina Grande hanno mostrato e raccontato con dedizione gli edifici e la storia del Centro Culturale, un complesso agricolo ottocentesco trasformato in un moderno polo di opportunità informative, di documentazione, di svago culturale, di formazione, a disposizione della cittadinanza. Padroni di casa e ospiti d'eccezione alla festa, il Sindaco di Rozzano, Gianni Ferretti, e il Vicesindaco, Maria Laura Guido, che hanno accolto e salutato il DAER, precedendo l'immancabile discorso del Direttore Marco Lovera. ℹ News e foto sul nostro sito https://lnkd.in/degEchP5 Grazie a tutti per la partecipazione e buone vacanze!
