An AI-Enabled Testbed for Satellite Mega-Constellations: From Simulator to Networks Innovation Accelerator Abstract: Private companies are deploying satellite mega-constellations to deliver low-latency, high-throughput Internet access across the globe. Enabled by inter-satellite optical links and onboard processing, these constellations support resource-sharing networks capable of meeting diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements. However, traditional routing protocols and... Read more →

Abstract Autonomous systems are increasingly pervasive, capable, and complex—but behind every such system lie one or more feedback loops that shape how it senses, decides, and acts. Control theory has guided feedback design for decades, yet modern systems now expose the limits of its model-based foundations. The models it relies on are frequently inaccessible, inaccurate,...
