Space robots play a significant role in on‐orbit servicing (OOS) missions, such as inspecting,
capturing, refueling, and repairing satellites, assembling and maintaining large space …

Recently, with the rapid development of aerospace technology, an increasing number of
spacecraft is being launched into space. Additionally, the demands for on-orbit servicing …

A significant number of the planned on-orbit servicing and active debris removal missions
will be performed by a spacecraft equipped with a robotic arm. In this paper we propose a …

Future spacecraft will be provided with special features to enable On-Orbit-Servicing
missions. Such features include capture interfaces, proximity sensors, and algorithms for …

In this paper, a fractional neural integral sliding-mode controller based on the Caputo-
Fabrizio derivative and Riemann–Liouville integral for a robot manipulator mounted on a …

Robotic on-orbit servicing presents the opportunity for repairing and refueling satellites and
deorbiting space objects. Performing such tasks is challenging because they must be done …

It is usually proposed to use a robotic manipulator for performing on-orbit capture of a target
satellite in the planned active debris removal and on-orbit servicing missions. Control of the …

Active compensation is an effective method to improve static and dynamic performances of
aerostatic bearings. However, the limited compensation bandwidth limits the development …

This paper promotes an idea of describing singularities of non-holonomic robotic systems by
normal forms under feedback of associated control systems. In order to increase the …

In-Space Manufacturing (ISM) is being investigated as a method for producing larger,
cheaper, and more capable spacecraft and space stations. One of the most promising …
