RFIDによるタンブリング物体の姿勢運動推定

抄録

The attitude motion estimation of objects in orbit is a fundamental problem in space missions, such as automated satellite capture and servicing, debris capture and mitigation, and large space structure assembly and maintenance. This paper proposes a new method for attitude estimation using only qualitative information about “What surface of the object is visible.” To acquire such qualitative information, this paper assumes to use RFID. Simulation results demonstrated that this method enables the accurate estimation of attitude state and is robust against observation errors despite using only coarse information.
