- 相比纯数据模型,误差降低27.08%,控制更稳定
- 适合需要高可靠性的航天器自主控制系统
姿态控制是航天器运行的核心任务。模型预测控制(MPC)依赖精确的动力学模型,在预测时域内优化控制动作。当物理模型不完整、难以推导或计算成本过高时,机器学习可直接从数据中学习系统行为。但纯数据驱动模型常在域外输入下表现不稳定、泛化能力差。本文研究将物理信息神经网络(PINNs)引入卫星姿态动力学建模,对比其与纯数据驱动方法的性能。采用带自注意力机制的实值非体积保持(Real NVP)神经网络架构,在Basilisk仿真器生成的模拟数据上训练多个模型。比较了纯数据驱动基线与引入物理约束的变体。结果表明,加入物理信息后,平均相对误差显著降低27.08%。在集成至MPC框架时,基于PINN的模型在控制精度与鲁棒性上持续优于纯数据模型,并在存在观测噪声和飞轮摩擦时,收敛时间改善最高达62%。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Attitude control is a fundamental aspect of spacecraft operations. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a powerful strategy for these tasks, relying on accurate models of the system dynamics to optimize control actions over a prediction horizon. In scenarios where physics models are incomplete, difficult to derive, or computationally expensive, machine learning offers a flexible alternative by learning the system behavior directly from data. However, purely data-driven models often struggle with generalization and stability, especially when applied to inputs outside their training domain. To address these limitations, we investigate the benefits of incorporating Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) into the learning of spacecraft attitude dynamics, comparing their performance with that of purely data-driven approaches. Using a Real-valued Non-Volume Preserving (Real NVP) neural network architecture with a self-attention mechanism, we trained several models on simulated data generated with the Basilisk simulator. Two training strategies were considered: a purely data-driven baseline and a physics-informed variant to improve robustness and stability. Our results demonstrate that the inclusion of physics-based information significantly enhances the performance in terms of the mean relative error with the best architectures found by 27.08%. These advantages are particularly evident when the learned models are integrated into an MPC framework, where PINN-based models consistently outperform their purely data-driven counterparts in terms of control accuracy and robustness, and achieve improved settling times when compared to traditional MPC approaches, yielding improvements of up to 62%, when subject to observation noise and RWs friction.
