Exact Frame Selection Algorithms for Agile Satellites

Abstract

A core problem in any collaborative teleoperation system is how to combine the competing requests into a single control stream computationally and efficiently. We notice that there are both collaborative and competitive elements in a group decision making process. We need a computation framework that can encapsulate the both. We look into the group decision process in a human society and find there are two important types include those with the centralized coordination and those without the centralized coordination. If we treat the two types as each end of a spectrum, most of group decision progresses fall somewhere in between them.
