Distributed Attitude Cooperative Control for Multi-spacecraft Formation Based on Multi-agent Systems

多航天器编队飞行在深空探测及协同对地观测等领域有着重要应用,而多航天器的姿态跟踪及协同控制技术作为其关键技术之一也引起了极大的关注。近年来,随着分布式人工智能技术的发展,多智能体系统(MASs)受到了航天器控制领域学者的关注并将其应用到多航天器编队控制中。本文回顾了多智能体系统协同控制及其在多航天器编队姿态协同控制中应用的研究进展。首先,从多航天器编队不同控制需求出发,分别从一致性跟踪控制、有限时间控制、事件驱动控制方面,回顾了多智能体系统协同控制问题的进展;其次,回顾了多航天器姿态协同控制在上述需求方面的研究进展,并基于多智能体系统的协同控制理论,提出了相应的分布式姿态协同控制策略。

Multi-spacecraft formation plays a key role in the fields such as deep space exploration and cooperative earth observation. As one of the key technologies,the attitude tracking and cooperative control of multi-spacecrafts has attracted great attention. In recent years,with the development of distributed artificial intelligence,multi-agent systems(MASs)have attracted scholars in the field of spacecraft control and been applied to multi-spacecraft formation control.In this paper,the research progress of the cooperative control of MASs and its applications in the attitude cooperative control of multi-spacecraft formation are reviewed. First,the progress of the cooperative control of MASs is reviewed in terms of different control requirements of multi-spacecraft formation from three aspects,i. e.,consistent tracking control,finite time control,and event-triggered control. Then,the research progress of attitude cooperative control of multi-spacecraft formation in view of the above requirements is reviewed,and the corresponding distributed attitude cooperative control strategies are proposed based on the cooperative control theory for MASs.
