Bio/Research
Ulrich is the Director of the Spacecraft Robotics and Control Laboratory. From 2006 to 2008, he was Spacecraft GN&C Research Engineer with NGC Aerospace Ltd, where he namely led the development of an innovative attitude perturbation estimation system for the European Space Agency’s PROBA-2 spacecraft. In 2013, he was Postdoctoral Associate with the Space Systems Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he contributed to the development and validation of vision-based relative navigation and control using the SPHERES experimental facility aboard the International Space Station during Expeditions 34 and 35.
Ulrich’s research interests include robotics, computer vision, path planning as well as adaptive and artificial intelligence-based control (e.g., iterative learning control, fuzzy logic, deep reinforcement learning, convolutional neural networks) applied to spacecraft proximity operations and formation flying. Prof. Ulrich is a member of the IFAC Technical Committee on Adaptive and Learning Systems, and from 2014 to 2022 he was a member of the AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Technical Committee. He is a senior member of AIAA, AAS, and IEEE, and serves as an Associate Editor for The Journal of the Astronautical Sciences.
