Recent Advances in Space-Deployable Structures in China

Deployable space structure technology is an approach used in building spacecraft,especially when realizing deployment and folding functions.Once in orbit,the structures are released from the fairing,deployed,and positioned.With the development of communication,remote-sensing,and navigation satellites,space-deployable structures have become cutting-edge research topics in space science and technology.This paper summarizes the current research status and development trend of spacedeployable structures in China,including large space mesh antennas,space solar arrays,and deployable structures and mechanisms for deep-space exploration.Critical technologies of space-deployable structures are addressed from the perspectives of deployable mechanisms,cable-membrane form-finding,dynamic analysis,reliable environmental adaptability analysis,and validation.Finally,future technology developments and trends are elucidated in the fields of mesh antennas,solar arrays,deployable mechanisms,and on-orbit adjustment,assembly,and construction.

视觉与惯性融合的多旋翼飞行机器人室内定位技术

随着人工智能技术的发展,无人机的应用场景趋向多元,人们对无人机的需求也不仅仅满足于简单的飞行任务,而是赋予其飞行机器人的角色,对其自主导航、复杂环境下的定位以及智能协同方面提出了更高的要求。针对室内场景下的定位需求,融合视觉与惯性数据实现了多旋翼飞行机器人的室内定位。在视觉前端加入图像增强算法以提高图像灰度对比度,减少了光流跟踪的误匹配点数。提出了一种基于图像信息的特征点提取和图像帧发布策略提高了定位精度,解决了室内环境下的定位漂移问题。针对飞行机器人室内自主跟踪及降落任务,设计了基于视觉定位的飞行机器人自主降落系统。在Gazebo中搭建飞行机器人模型仿真验证自主降落系统有效性,在EuRoC数据集下对定位算法进行对比评估,搭建飞行机器人平台在真实场景下进行室内定位实验,完成了室内场景下平台自主跟踪及降落任务,并采用运动捕捉系统获取的定位真值数据进行了误差分析,结果表明该定位技术满足室内场景下的自主跟踪及降落任务需求。
