Sommario:
- Standard chance constrained control algorithms typically rely on the assumption that uncertainties in vehicle states obey Gaussian statistics. Highly nonlinear systems tend to disrupt Gaussianity, challenging standard chance-constrained control methods. This paper develops a non-Gaussian confidence boundary parameterization technique for such cases where the problem departs appreciably from the Gaussian assumption. The approach is to consider the true confidence boundary as a perturbation of the one predicted from covariance, deriving perturbed boundary geometry from computed higher-order statistical moments. Applying this technique to so-called "banana-shaped distributions" (found e.g. in orbital mechanics problems) enables a simple parameterization of the confidence boundary using the skew and kurtosis tensors. The method is then applied to an impulsive stochastic spacecraft maneuver targeting problem in two-body dynamics. An algorithmic implementation outperforms a standard linear covariance-based approach in computing control parameters satisfying certain probabilistic bounds on the non-Gaussian distribution.
