In the first part, this article presents an overview of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC)
methodologies developed for space manipulators to perform in-orbit robotic missions …

Abstract Space robotics is considered one of the most promising approaches for on-orbit
servicing (OOS) missions such as docking, berthing, refueling, repairing, upgrading …

Space is the driving force of the world's sustainable development, and ensuring the
sustainability of human activity in space is also necessary. Robotic arm active debris capture …

Free-flying space manipulator systems, in which robotic manipulators are mounted on a free-
flying spacecraft, are envisioned for assembling, maintenance, repair, and contingency …

This paper is devoted to the control of aerial robots interacting physically with objects in the
environment and with other aerial robots. The paper presents a controller for the particular …

This paper focuses on the dynamics of a multiple manipulator space free-flying robot (SFFR)
with rigid links and issues relevant to the development of appropriate control algorithms. To …

The work presented here investigates task-space trajectory tracking control for free-floating
space robots with uncertain kinematics and dynamics. To deal with these two kinds of …

ROBOTIC systems are expected to play an important role in space applications, for example,
in the servicing, construction, and maintenance of space structures on orbit. For instance …

The growing number of space debris is alarming as it threatens space-borne services.
Hence, there is an increasing demand to remove space debris to ensure sustainability and …

The paper proposes an adaptive coordinated control scheme on free-floating space
manipulators at the dynamic level, with kinematic and dynamic uncertainties. The free …
