Encyclopedia
Dr. Marcello Romano is a professor of astronautics at the Naval Postgraduate School
. His research interests are on dynamics and control of spacecraft and robot. He worked on the problem of control of a multibody spacecraft by control moment gyroscope
s, and on the problem of controlling a manipulator with flexible links by applying the input shaping
technique. He is the founder director of the Spacecraft Robotics Laboratory.
He holds a doctorate degree and a Laurea degree in astronautical engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

Control moment gyroscope
A control momentum gyroscope is an attitude control device generally used in spacecraft attitude control systems. A CMG consists of a spinning rotor and one or more motorized gimbals that tilt the rotor’s angular momentum. As the rotor tilts, the changing angular momentum causes a gyroscopic...

Input shaping
Input Shaping is a control technique for reducing vibrations in computer controlled machines. The method works by creating a command signal that cancels its own vibration. That is, vibration caused by the first part of the command signal is canceled by vibration caused by the second part of the...
