Space-based manipulators have traditionally been tasked with robotic on-orbit servicing or
assembly functions, but active debris removal has become a more urgent application. We …

Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems by Hanspeter Schaub and John Junkins is a
comprehensive treatment of a stimulating and challenging subject that is both old and new …

In the past decade there has been an upswing in the interest of flywheel energy storage
systems for space applications. This interest has been driven by limitations of chemical …

A SINGLE-GIMBAL control moment gyro (CMG) system is regarded as an effective torque
generator for attitude control both for large space stations and small agile satellites because …

Control laws for an integrated power/attitude control system (IPACS) for a satellite using
variable-speed singlegimbal control moment gyroscopes (VSCMGs) are introduced …

This book discusses all spacecraft attitude control-related topics: spacecraft (including
attitude measurements, actuator, and disturbance torques), modeling, spacecraft attitude …

In this paper a new Attitude Control System is proposed, based on Control Moment
Gyroscopes (CMG). These actuators can provide unique torque, angular momentum and …

Balancing the upper body is pivotal for upright and efficient gait. While models have
identified potentially useful characteristics of biarticular thigh muscles for postural control of …

Gyroscopic actuators are appealing for wearable applications due to their ability to provide
overground balance support without obstructing the legs. Multiple wearable robots using this …

We recently proposed the theoretical idea of a wearable balancing aid, consisting of a set of
control moment gyroscopes (CMGs) contained into a backpacklike orthopedic corset. Even …
