Abstract Space manipulator has complex kinetic and dynamic properties due to its free-float
base. Moreover, the motion planning of a dual-arm manipulator is even more challenging …

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 …

Manipulator mounted on an unmanned satellite could be used for performing orbital capture
maneuver in order to repair satellites or remove space debris from orbit. Use of manipulators …

From the optimization perspective, this article proposes a novel actual shape-based
obstacle avoidance synthesized by velocity–acceleration minimization (ASOA-VAM) scheme …

During the on-orbit capture task of the free-floating space robot, its operating space
degenerates. The dynamic coupling and dynamic singularity also affect the task operation …

Microgravity is the aspect of space environment that is important for robotic technologies.
One possible approach to simulate microgravity conditions on Earth is to use planar air …

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 …

An obstacle avoidance and path planning algorithm for a multi-joint manipulator in a space
robot is presented in this paper. In this paper, the end-effector of the manipulator is used to …
