Investigating the Impact of Choice on Deep Reinforcement Learning for Space Controls

no code implementations20 May 2024 Nathaniel Hamilton, Kyle Dunlap, Kerianne L. Hobbs

Our results show that a limited number of discrete choices leads to optimal performance for the inspection task, while continuous control leads to optimal performance for the docking task.

Continuous Control Reinforcement Learning (RL)

Demonstrating Reinforcement Learning and Run Time Assurance for Spacecraft Inspection Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

no code implementations10 May 2024 Kyle Dunlap, Nathaniel Hamilton, Zachary Lippay, Matthew Shubert, Sean Phillips, Kerianne L. Hobbs

On-orbit spacecraft inspection is an important capability for enabling servicing and manufacturing missions and extending the life of spacecraft.

Run Time Assurance for Simultaneous Constraint Satisfaction During Spacecraft Attitude Maneuvering

no code implementations22 Feb 2024 Cassie-Kay McQuinn, Kyle Dunlap, Nathaniel Hamilton, Jabari Wilson, Kerianne L. Hobbs

Monte Carlo simulation results as well as plots of example cases are shown and evaluated for a three degree of freedom spacecraft with reaction wheel attitude control.

Run Time Assurance for Autonomous Spacecraft Inspection

no code implementations6 Feb 2023 Kyle Dunlap, David van Wijk, Kerianne L. Hobbs

A comparison is made between centralized and decentralized control, where simulations of the inspection problem then demonstrate that RTA can assure safety of all constraints.

A Universal Framework for Generalized Run Time Assurance with JAX Automatic Differentiation

no code implementations2 Sep 2022 Umberto Ravaioli, Kyle Dunlap, Kerianne Hobbs

With the rise of increasingly complex autonomous systems powered by black box AI models, there is a growing need for Run Time Assurance (RTA) systems that provide online safety filtering to untrusted primary controller output.
