Initial Design for Smart Micro Lunar Exploration Rovers for Intelligent Collaborative Tasking Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Güloğlu, Görkem Eğemen; Söken, Halil Ersin; Aycan, Teoman Efe; Kangal, Ahmet Mustafa; Bodur, Abdullah Naci; Üstündaş, Şahin Umutcan; Özduygu, Mete Oğulcan; Gökdemir, Emirhan Burak; Mut, Tarık; Kazaz, Eren; Başkan Perçin, Özge; Barman, Onur; Çelik, Onur (2025-09-29) Chang'e-8, the final mission of the fourth phase of China's lunar exploration project, is scheduled for launch around 2028. It will conduct detection and research on lunar multi-physical fields, regional geological profile...
Simulation and Control of an Unmanned Lunar Rover at the Moon’s South Pole: Leveraging Challenging Illumination Conditions for Enhanced Exploration Durmaz, Atakan; Güloğlu, Görkem Eğemen; Turgut, Ali Emre; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Söken, Halil Ersin; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Üstündaş, Şahin Umutcan; Özduygu, Mete Oğulcan (2025-09-29) This study explores the motion planning and control of a lunar rover designed for exploration at the Moon's south pole. The mission aims to explore permanently shadowed regions believed to contain water ice deposits, ident...
Error Covariance Analyses for Celestial Triangulation and Its Optimality: Improved Linear Optimal Sine Triangulation Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim; Söken, Halil Ersin; Soergel, Uwe (2025-04-01) This study presents an improved methodology for celestial triangulation optimization in spacecraft navigation, addressing limitations in existing approaches. While current methods like Linear Optimal Sine Triangulation (LO...
Visual Navigation for Lunar Missions Using Sequential Triangulation Technique Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim; Söken, Halil Ersin; Tekinalp, Ozan (2025-03-01) A vision-aided autonomous navigation system for translunar missions based on celestial triangulation (Earth and Moon) is proposed. Line-of-Sight (LoS) vectors from the spacecraft to celestial bodies, retrieved using epheme...
Collision-Free Nonlinear Model Predictive Control for Quadrotors in Dynamic Outdoor Environments Acar, Beyza; Söken, Halil Ersin (2025-01-01) Ensuring safe and efficient navigation of quadrotors in dynamic outdoor environments requires accurate prediction of obstacle motion and adaptive collision avoidance strategies. This paper proposes a Nonlinear Model Predic...
Kalman Filter-Based Position Estimation in UAV Swarms: Impact of Swarm Size, Flight Paths and Onboard Sensors Turan, Sena; Söken, Halil Ersin (2025-01-01) This paper investigates swarm navigation performance for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) under varying flight path geometries and swarm sizes. Employing both local and master Kalman filter (KF) estimation techniques, the s...
Relative position estimation using modulated magnetic field for close proximity formation flight Shibata, Takuma; Söken, Halil Ersin; Sakai, Shin-ichiro (2024-12-01) This paper presents a method to estimate relative position vectors between spacecraft equipped with magnetic coils and magnetic field sensors for close proximity operation. Filters can segregate a magnetic field with a par...
