随着在轨服务需求增长,如巡检、维护和态势感知,亟需具备复杂机动能力的智能航天器。传统控制系统在模型不确定性、多航天器配置或动态任务环境下适应性不足。本文提出RL-AVIST框架,用于太空目标的自主视觉巡检。利用空间机器人基准平台(SRB)模拟高保真6-DOF航天器动力学,采用DreamerV3(基于模型的先进强化学习算法)进行训练,并以PPO和TD3作为无模型基线。研究聚焦于月球门户等大型轨道目标的三维近距离机动任务。评估了两类策略:在随机速度向量上训练的泛化代理,以及针对已知巡检轨道固定轨迹训练的专用代理。进一步测试了策略在不同航天器形态与任务域下的鲁棒性与泛化能力。结果表明,基于模型的强化学习在轨迹保真度和样本效率方面表现优异,为未来空间操作提供可扩展、可重训的控制解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The growing need for autonomous on-orbit services such as inspection, maintenance, and situational awareness calls for intelligent spacecraft capable of complex maneuvers around large orbital targets. Traditional control systems often fall short in adaptability, especially under model uncertainties, multi-spacecraft configurations, or dynamically evolving mission contexts. This paper introduces RL-AVIST, a Reinforcement Learning framework for Autonomous Visual Inspection of Space Targets. Leveraging the Space Robotics Bench (SRB), we simulate high-fidelity 6-DOF spacecraft dynamics and train agents using DreamerV3, a state-of-the-art model-based RL algorithm, with PPO and TD3 as model-free baselines. Our investigation focuses on 3D proximity maneuvering tasks around targets such as the Lunar Gateway and other space assets. We evaluate task performance under two complementary regimes: generalized agents trained on randomized velocity vectors, and specialized agents trained to follow fixed trajectories emulating known inspection orbits. Furthermore, we assess the robustness and generalization of policies across multiple spacecraft morphologies and mission domains. Results demonstrate that model-based RL offers promising capabilities in trajectory fidelity, and sample efficiency, paving the way for scalable, retrainable control solutions for future space operations
