面向卫星星座的在轨AI协同框架,解决多星协作中的学习与决策难题。
On-Orbit Space AI: Federated, Multi-Agent, and Collaborative Algorithms for Satellite Constellations

- 采用联邦学习实现跨卫星安全训练与个性化模型更新
- 通过多智能体算法完成资源调度、编队控制与避撞规划
- 支持分布式感知与推理,适配动态网络与严苛空间环境
卫星星座正将空间系统从孤立航天器转变为可编程、联网的平台,具备在轨感知、决策与自适应能力。然而现有AI研究仍集中于单星推理,星座级自主带来全新挑战:动态星间连接、严格功耗-重量-体积-成本(SWaP-C)限制、辐射故障、非独立同分布数据、概念漂移及关键任务约束。本综述整合在轨空间AI新兴领域,提出三大范式:(i) 联邦学习实现跨星训练、个性化与安全聚合;(ii) 多智能体算法支持协作规划、资源分配、调度、编队控制与碰撞规避;(iii) 协同感知与分布式推断,涵盖多星融合、目标跟踪、分阶段/提前退出推理,以及与星座网络的跨层协同设计。提供系统视角与分类体系,统一协作架构、时间机制与信任模型。为推动社区发展并保持持续更新,持续维护相关论文与资源库:https://github.com/ziyangwang007/AI4Space。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Satellite constellations are transforming space systems from isolated spacecraft into networked, software-defined platforms capable of on-orbit perception, decision making, and adaptation. Yet much of the existing AI studies remains centered on single-satellite inference, while constellation-scale autonomy introduces fundamentally new algorithmic requirements: learning and coordination under dynamic inter-satellite connectivity, strict SWaP-C limits, radiation-induced faults, non-IID data, concept drift, and safety-critical operational constraints. This survey consolidates the emerging field of on-orbit space AI through three complementary paradigms: (i) {federated learning} for cross-satellite training, personalization, and secure aggregation; (ii) {multi-agent algorithms} for cooperative planning, resource allocation, scheduling, formation control, and collision avoidance; and (iii) {collaborative sensing and distributed inference} for multi-satellite fusion, tracking, split/early-exit inference, and cross-layer co-design with constellation networking. We provide a system-level view and a taxonomy that unifies collaboration architectures, temporal mechanisms, and trust models. To support community development and keep this review actionable over time, we continuously curate relevant papers and resources at https://github.com/ziyangwang007/AI4Space.
