Robots that can easily interact with humans and move through natural environments are
becoming increasingly essential as assistive devices in the home, office and hospital. These …

Due to agile developments in the field of robotics and human-robot interaction, prospective
robotic agents are intended to play the role of teammates and partner with humans to …

In this paper, a unified neural control scheme is presented for the output-constrained
trajectory tracking of space manipulator under unknown parameters and external …

Capture and removal of space debris are challenging in robotic on-orbit servicing activities.
A large portion of space debris does not possess any graspable features, which makes the …

Aiming at the trajectory tracking of a free-flying flexible-joint space robot (FFSR) with
unknown time-varying disturbances and input saturation, we develop a robust control law …

This paper addresses fixed-time trajectory tracking for a dual-arm free-floating space robot
(FFSR) with the large initial errors and bounded uncertainty. A wrist-based trajectory …

The construction of large structures is one of the main development trends of the space
exploration in the future, such as large space stations, large space solar power stations, and …

The present study addresses the problem of automatic path planning of a manipulator-like
spacecraft in orbit. Based on the concept of optimal control and off-line establishment of …

Abstract The Orbital Express Demonstration System (OEDS) flight test, flown from March to
July 2007, achieved all of its mission objectives, demonstrating a suite of capabilities …

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 …
