A comprehensive survey systematically categorizes and analyzes Visual Servoing (VS) methodologies applied to autonomous On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) missions, organizing approaches by operational phases and identifying current trends, challenges, and future research directions for space robotic systems.

Key insights

  • Classical VS methods, particularly PBVS with eye-in-hand configurations, are widely adopted when 3D target models or depth information are available.
  • A significant research focus is on robustly handling non-cooperative targets and the complex coupled dynamics of free-floating manipulators during OOS missions.
  • Critical challenges remain in validating VS system performance from simulation to actual space environments and in developing adaptive fault-tolerant controllers for highly unstructured scenarios.
