Neural Backward Reach-Avoid Tubes with MPC Supervision for High-Dimensional Systems: An Application to Safe Spacecraft Docking

- 融合哈密顿-雅可比理论与模型预测控制,构建神经网络价值函数。
- 6维和13维系统测试中成功率与效率均优于现有方法。
- 适合复杂动态系统中的安全控制,如航天器对接场景。
自主航天器对接需在耦合的高维平动-转动动力学下同时保证避障与目标可达性。哈密顿-雅可比(HJ)可达性分析可提供形式化保障,但经典求解器仅适用于低维系统。基于学习的方法开始拓展HJ分析的规模,但在目标与失败集紧密耦合的可达-避障场景中仍表现不佳,例如对接任务。本文提出一种基于学习的后向可达-避让管(BRAT)框架,通过将HJ结构与基于MPC的监督紧密结合来应对该挑战。离线阶段,利用基于偏微分方程(PDE)的损失函数,并引入课程驱动的MPC监督以提供有效值目标,稳定了在纯PDE方法失效区域的训练过程。在线阶段,部署两个实时控制器:(i) 基于价值梯度的控制器;(ii) 显式在时间窗终点强制可达性的价值函数增强型终端MPC。我们在6维平面对接问题上与网格基真值对比,并扩展至完整的13维系统。在两种设置下,所提方法在成功率和计算效率方面均超越现有方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous spacecraft docking requires control policies that simultaneously ensure collision avoidance and target reachability under coupled, high-dimensional translational-rotational dynamics. Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability provides formal reach-avoid guarantees, but classical solvers are limited to low-dimensional systems. Learning-based approaches have begun to scale HJ analysis, yet they struggle in reach-avoid settings, especially where goal and failure sets are tightly coupled, as in docking. We propose a learning-based Backward Reach-Avoid Tube (BRAT) framework that addresses this challenge by tightly integrating HJ structure with MPC-based supervision. In the offline phase, we train a neural approximation of the HJ value function using PDE-based losses augmented with curriculum-driven MPC supervision, which provides informative value targets and stabilizes training in regions where purely PDE-based methods fail. In the online phase, the learned value function is deployed through two real-time controllers: (i) a value gradient-driven controller, and (ii) a value-function-augmented terminal MPC that explicitly enforces reachability at the horizon. We evaluate the proposed method on a 6D planar docking problem against grid-based ground truth and then scale to the full 13D system. Across both settings, our approach outperforms existing methods in success rate and computational efficiency.
