Saturation-Aware Robust Trajectory Optimization for Reusable Launch Vehicles via Differentiable Physics

99

arXiv:2607.09736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The high-angle-of-attack flip maneuver of reusable launch vehicles presents significant challenges for robust trajectory optimization due to the combined effects of highly nonlinear dynamics, aerodynamic uncertainties, and actuator saturation. This paper presents a differentiable physics framework for saturation-aware robust trajectory optimization. At its core, a Differentiable Particle Tube Control (DPTC) scheme is developed to optimize uncertainty evolution through an ensemble-based distribution shaping strategy. State uncertainty is represented by a Lagrangian particle ensemble, while hard actuator projection operators are embedded directly into the computational graph, enabling the joint optimization of the nominal feedforward trajectory and a time-varying feedback policy via end-to-end backpropagation. The proposed framework is evaluated against an automatic differentiation-based Successive Convexification (AD-SCvx) baseline combine...
