Towards on-board identification of space systems

To enhance current robotic OOS capabilities, autonomous operations must be considered, that will rely on advanced controllers. The design and adaptation of such controllers requires reliable system identification methods and algorithms, especially regarding the system inertial parameters and flexibilities. The main objective of the OBSIdian project is the development and application of System Identification (SYSID) methodologies based on appropriate formulations of system dynamics and the subsequent development and application of appropriate identification algorithms. This will result in the development of an on-board computational efficient and reliable software for SYSID.
