Stochastic Optimal Control for Autonomous Vehicles

Stochastic primer vector
Robust open-loop orbit transfer around asteroids under uncertainty
Develop stochastic optimal control theories for robust design and operations of autonomous aerospace vehicles

 

Image: Robust open-loop orbit transfer under uncertainty, designed by applying stochastic primer vector theory. The stochastic primer vector theory is developed by extending the classical primer vector theory, combining techniques from optimal control theory, astrodynamics, and stochastic systems.
