Humberto Ramos

Humberto Ramos is a researcher at the Autonomous Vehicles Laboratory at the University of Florida. His work is mainly focused on guidance, navigation, and control and directly contributes to the US Air Force Research laboratory projects. He obtained his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University with a focus on control and state estimation. His main contributions are related to increasing the robustness and the practical applicability of linear filters via probabilistically sound modifications. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics engineering from the Polytechnic University of Zacatecas

Vision-based tracking of non-cooperative space bodies to support active attitude control detection

Published in 2018 AIAA SPACE and Astronautics Forum and Exposition, 2018

The determination of the angular rate of a tumbling asteroid is shown. This approach estimates the angular velocity vector of the asteroid by fusing the propagated kinematic motion model and asteroid image salient features. Data fusion is performed via an Extended Kalman filter.
