This letter concentrates on the development of Chat-PM, a class of composite hybrid
aerial/terrestrial manipulator, in concern with composite configuration design, dynamics …

The lack of aerial physical interaction capability is one of the choke points limiting the
extension of aerial robot applications, such as rescue missions and aerial maintenance. We …

This paper proposes a 7-DOF hybrid serial-parallel manipulator for capturing a non-
cooperative target in space and discusses its dynamics and control. The hybrid manipulator …

A space manipulator needs to exhibit high stiffness for tracking, and good compliance for
capturing a tumbling satellite. However, the elasticity caused by harmonic drives challenges …

A new three degree of freedom 3-DOF manipulator with fully decoupled translational motion
is proposed in this paper. The conceptual design of the proposed manipulator is based on …

This thesis presents a resolved acceleration control (RAC) and intelligent schemes of active
force control (AFC) as approaches for the robust motion control of a mobile manipulator …

Contact-based operation in moving process is a challenging problem for aerial
manipulators. It requires the whole system to maintain steady contact with external …

This article proposes a position and force control method for a dual-arm space manipulator
to grip and transport an unknown target without grapple fixtures. The hierarchical sliding …

In this paper, the design, modeling and experimental verification of a large workspace,
parallel aerial manipulator is presented. The proposed manipulator has 3 Degrees of …

This article investigates the modeling and attitude control of a class of composite hybrid
aerial/terrestrial precise manipulator (Chat‐PM) with stochastic switching payloads when …
