Application of kynodynamical motion planning algorithms to perform attitude maneuvers for a magnetorquer-actuated LEO satellite with pointing constrains. The full paper is available here.
Demonstrates a novel path planning algorithm, Bonsai-RRT, to solving the magnetorquer-actuated LEO satellite problem.
For single runs, execute experiments.jl with alg_mode and control mode set accordingly. Other parameters can also be changed here.
For benchmark runs, execute benchmark.jl with cases defined in the cases dictionary. benchmark.jl includes an example of the bonsai-pd case setup.
Named after the 10c. illuminator/cartographer Ende.
Developed by Mark Stephenson as a final project for CU Boulder's ASEN 5254: Algorithmic Motion Planning in Fall of 2022, taught by Morteza Lahijanian.
