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

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 …

Space robotic systems are expected to play an increasingly important role in future space
activities. Nevertheless, dynamics modeling and motion planning of a space robot are much …

Hardware-in-the-loop simulation and test has been an essential part in the development of
spacecraft formation flight, rendezvous, capture/docking, and spacecraft robotics systems …

Noncooperative target pose (position and attitude) measurement is very important for on-
orbital servicing tasks, such as malfunctioned spacecraft capturing and repairing, space …

One of the most challenging and risky operations for spacecraft is to perform rendezvous
and docking autonomously in space. To ensure a safe and reliable operation, such a …

The non-holonomic characteristic of a free-floating space robotic system is used to plan the
path of the manipulator joints, by whose motion the base attitude and the inertial pose (the …

One of the most challenging and risky missions for spacecraft is to perform Rendezvous and
