Description:
A proof of concept of an attitude control system based on Artificial Intelligence, as an alternative of current state-of-the-art systems based on model approaches, has been developed and tested in a simulator and in the EM of the OPS-SAT. The system relies on Computer Vision and Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms to command the OPS-SAT reaction wheels in order to actively modify its attitude, so that the on-board optical camera keeps framed and focused on a target without the aid of any other instrument, such as the star tracker, the ADCS or the GPS receiver.
