Markerless Multi-Modal Autonomous Robotic Inspection of Large Space Structures

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 24, 2026 · UTC

Future orbital infrastructures, such as deployable antennas, solar farms, and large orbital platforms will require autonomous inspection systems able to operate with limited prior knowledge and without cooperative markers. Current on-orbit servicing approaches often rely on predefined trajectories, standard interfaces, fiducial markers or accurate target models, which limits scalability for large, heterogeneous or partially unknown structures. This paper presents a markerless autonomous robotic inspection pipeline in which 3D reconstruction is used as an inspection-support representation. The
