Guidance Law
Guidance law research focuses on designing algorithms that direct the movement of autonomous systems, such as vehicles or robots, towards desired objectives, often involving complex maneuvers and interactions with dynamic environments. Current research emphasizes robust and efficient methods, employing techniques like Markov decision processes, deep reinforcement learning (including Proximal Policy Optimization and Evolution Strategies), and novel filtering approaches (e.g., Interacting Multiple Model filters) to achieve optimal performance in diverse applications. These advancements have significant implications for various fields, including aerospace (drone interception, satellite docking), robotics (precision landing, target enclosing), and even molecular generation and image processing, improving control, safety, and efficiency in these systems.
