New MARL method enhances orbital inspection with 3D reconstruction analysis

Researchers have developed a new method for controlling groups of inspection spacecraft using Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL). This approach utilizes a generalized reward function informed by the analysis of 3D reconstructions of inspected objects in orbit, allowing agents to autonomously decide when to collect images. The study offers insights into best practices for MARL inspection tasks and the broader inspection domain. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more efficient and autonomous orbital inspection missions by improving the control and decision-making capabilities of spacecraft.

    Simulation Based Reward Function Validation for Multi-Agent On Orbit Inspection

    A proposed method for the control of groups of inspection spacecraft is Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL). While MARL has already been employed for this purpose in previous work, the reward functions used focus on reaching a finite set of predetermined inspection points a…
