Fuzzy-Based Control Method for Autonomous Spacecraft Inspection with Minimal Fuel Consumption
By: Daegyun Choi, Donghoon Kim, Henzeh Leeghim
Potential Business Impact:
Saves fuel for space robots inspecting things.
This study explores an energy-efficient control strategy for spacecraft inspection using a fuzzy inference system combined with a bio-inspired optimization technique to incorporate learning capability into the control process. The optimized fuzzy controller produces a minimally fuel-consuming force while maintaining reliable inspection within constraints, such as illumination, restricted field of view, thrust limits, and safe regions. The performance of the proposed control strategy is validated through Monte Carlo simulations.
