- 助力算法泛化与真实世界部署,适合航天研究者。
日益增长的太空探索需求要求系统具备在非结构化环境和极端外星条件下自主运行的能力。然而,机器人学习在此领域的发展受限于技术验证成本高昂及数据稀缺。为此,我们提出 Space Robotics Bench,一个开源的太空机器人学习仿真框架。该框架采用模块化设计,结合按需生成与大规模并行仿真,支持创建丰富多样的训练数据分布。为支撑研究与直接比较,框架内置一套全面的基准任务,覆盖多种任务相关场景。我们使用标准强化学习算法建立性能基线,并通过一系列案例研究,探讨泛化能力、端到端学习、自适应控制及模拟到现实的迁移等关键挑战。结果揭示了现有方法的局限性,同时证明该框架可生成适用于真实世界的控制策略。这些贡献使 Space Robotics Bench 成为开发、评估和部署面向未来太空任务的鲁棒自主系统的重要资源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The growing ambition for space exploration demands robust autonomous systems that can operate in unstructured environments under extreme extraterrestrial conditions. The adoption of robot learning in this domain is severely hindered by the prohibitive cost of technology demonstrations and the limited availability of data. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Space Robotics Bench, an open-source simulation framework for robot learning in space. It offers a modular architecture that integrates on-demand procedural generation with massively parallel simulation environments to support the creation of vast and diverse training distributions for learning-based agents. To ground research and enable direct comparison, the framework includes a comprehensive suite of benchmark tasks that span a wide range of mission-relevant scenarios. We establish performance baselines using standard reinforcement learning algorithms and present a series of experimental case studies that investigate key challenges in generalization, end-to-end learning, adaptive control, and sim-to-real transfer. Our results reveal insights into the limitations of current methods and demonstrate the utility of the framework in producing policies capable of real-world operation. These contributions establish the Space Robotics Bench as a valuable resource for developing, benchmarking, and deploying the robust autonomous systems required for the final frontier.
