Beschreibung

Future space missions may rely on very large distributed spacecraft systems composed of many identical modules, such as modular apertures and self-assembled robotic infrastructures. Modeling the dynamics of such systems becomes challenging as the number of elements grows to a potentially near-infinite number.
Existing work shows that systems composed of repeating elements can sometimes be analyzed using recursive or inductive modeling approaches, avoiding the need to explicitly derive the dynamics of each element.
This thesis explores how similar ideas can be used to model very large or even countably infinite spacecraft structures, enabling scalable analysis of evolving modular systems. If time allows the topic of this project can also be extended in the direction of distributed control.
Before applying, please read the following task description and necessary prerequisites carefully. If you are interested in the project and feel like you are a good fit, send a short motivational statement (max 1 page), a tabular CV, a current transcript and a description/list of any relevant projects you previously took part in to jannes.huehnerbein@tum.de.
