Abstract

Control of systems operating in unexplored environments is challenging due to lack of complete model knowledge. Additionally, under measurement noises, data collected from onboard sensors are of limited accuracy. This paper considers imperfect state observations in developing a control strategy for systems moving in unknown environments. First, we include hard constraints in the problem for safety concerns. Given the observed states, the robust myopic control approach learns local dynamics, explores all possible trajectories within the observation error bound, and computes the optimal control action using robust optimization. Finally, we validate the method in an OSIRIS-REx-based asteroid landing scenario.
