The home Laboratory will be the LAAS-CNRS (Laboratoire d'Analyse et d'Architecture des Systemes Toulouse MAC (Methods and Algorithms in Control) Group: http://www.laas.fr/laas09/MAC-EN/ ). The duration of this contract is one year, renewable twice. The candidates will be funded by the CNES (French space agency) with a co-financing agreement with EADS/Astrium. You can read more about the position at these links: http://www.cnes.fr/web/CNES-en/7430-research-grants.php http://www.cnes.fr/web/CNES-en/7441-how-to-apply.php and about the subject description at these links: http://www.cnes.fr/web/CNES-en/7432-topics-2009.php?view=item&item=2285 Subject short description : The candidate will contribute to the development of autonomous orbital rendezvous guidance algorithms in the general framework of the model predictive control techniques. To provide rendezvous guidance algorithms with robustness property, an intuitive idea frequently used in the space industry consists in the following iterative procedure: 1. Generating a constrained maneuvers plan that leads the deputy vehicle to reach a final relative state in fixed time from its current state at the time t0. 2. Performing the first maneuver of the plan at the time t1 > t0. 3. Estimating the new current relative state at the time t2 > t1 (e.g. just after performing the first maneuver). 4. From this new state, generating a new plan of maneuvers to reach the target, and return to Step 2. Although this heuristic method looks like a closed loop strategy, it is not based upon a formal and rigorous analysis that solely ensures stability and robustness with respect to uncertainties and allows performances quantification. To cope with these issues, we intend to tackle the guidance problem in the general framework of the model predictive control (MPC) techniques. Albeit these methods take up the reasoning described above e.g. optimizing control actuation under constraints on a receding horizon they are mainly designed to take advantage from the feedback pieces of information about the gap between nominal and actual positions and also from the control sequence itself so that it becomes possible to online adapt the control law, soften the constraints or even evolve the model used in the algorithm. It is noteworthy that the feedback concept used in this framework is set upon a specific control structure, adaptive or not, for which the cost function which quantifies the rendezvous accuracy will be an influent factor on the stability of the whole system. The prospective nature of this way of investigation consists in replacing the previous heuristics by a formal approach that sets the stability, ensures robustness against uncertainty and provides good online performances. Requirements: For thesis contracts, university candidates or graduates of a Grande Ecole or engineering school must hold a Master 2 degree awarded by a university, or a suitable degree enabling them to enrol for their thesis at the relevant doctoral school. To this subject, knowledge on space relative dynamics and control techniques will also be appreciated. Application: The application deadline is 31th of March 2010 .
