About
Mike Dupuis is a leading researcher in autonomous space robotics, with a focus on enabling In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) for interplanetary exploration. His work centers on developing advanced control and navigation systems for free-flying unmanned robotic vehicles designed to prospect and characterize moons, asteroids, and other planetary bodies. Dupuis’s major contributions include pioneering control laws that allow these robotic systems to autonomously capture samples in extreme, low-gravity environments, as well as vision-aided navigation strategies that ensure precise, reliable operation without real-time human intervention. His most cited papers, including "Control Laws Development for a Free-Flying Unmanned Robotic System" (6 citations) and "Vision-Aided Navigation for a Free-Flying Unmanned Robotic System" (4 citations), lay the groundwork for future missions that could extract water and other resources directly from extraterrestrial surfaces. By integrating sample-capture devices with autonomous flight control, Dupuis’s research directly supports the long-term goal of sustainable human presence beyond Earth. His work is essential reading for students and engineers interested in the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and space resource utilization.
