ELTs possess an aperture of more than 20 meters and share a number of common features, particularly the use of a segmented primary mirror and adaptive optics systems. In 2005, the European Southern Observatory introduced a new giant telescope concept, named the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), which is scheduled for operation in 2018. In 2009, a feasibility study proved the feasibility of the real-time (RT) control system architecture for the E-ELT’s primary mirror, which consists of nearly 1,000 mirror segments with 3,000 actuators and 6,000 sensors. The goal of the RT control system was to maintain a perfectly aligned field of mirrors at all times with a loop-time of 1 ms. The study assumed a prescribed controller algorithm. This paper prescribes two such controllers. In this respect, optimal controller designs for the primary mirror, where optimality is formulated in the H2 and H∞ frameworks are derived. Moreover, the designed controllers are simulated to show that the desired performance, which is defined in terms of imaging requirements, is met.","PeriodicalId":191412,"journal":{"name":"AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130060270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we consider an evolutionary game between three strategies of pursuit (classical, constant bearing, motion camouage) and three strategies of evasion (classical, random, optical-ow based). Pursuer and evader agents are modeled as self-propelled steered particles with constant speed and strategydependent heading control. We use Monte-Carlo simulations and theoretical analysis to show convergence of the evolutionary dynamics to a pure strategy Nash equilibrium of classical pursuit vs. classical evasion. Here, evolutionary dynamics serve as a powerful tool in determining equilibria in complicated game-theoretic interactions. We extend our work to consider a novel pursuit and evasion based collective motion scheme, motivated by collective pursuit and evasion in locusts. We present simulations of collective dynamics and point to several avenues for future work.","PeriodicalId":191412,"journal":{"name":"AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124136652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
