Outcome:
The aim of the course is that the student shall learn the concepts of guidance, navigation and control (GNC) for
space systems, including satellites, rockets, rovers, aerial vehicles, manipulators and planes.
After the course, the student shall be able to:
- Identify and select sensorial systems for GNC
- Generate trajectories for spacecrafts
- Program attitude estimation based on Extended Kalman Filtering
- Design control architectures for GNC as LQR and MPC
- Design basic applications in computed vision for GNC
- Apply the underlying knowledge in realistic labs
