Autonomous Reconfiguration Strategy Based on Reconfigurability Evaluation

Abstract

This paper aims to improve the autonomous operational capabilities of spacecraft. For a complex system with physical coupling and flexible attachments, an autonomous reconfiguration strategy based on reconfigurability evaluation is proposed. First, a quantitative evaluation index for reconfigurability is given based on operator theory to fully exploit the potential of system reconfigurability under resource constraints. Then, specific requirements and evaluation methods for autonomous reconfiguration are proposed in accordance with the results, thereby providing a theoretical reference for the design of reconfiguration strategy methods. Thus, reconfigurability is maximized from the design point of view. Finally, the validity and correctness of the method are verified by simulation.
