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

Manipulators can be utilized for various purposes during space missions, eg, Canadarm2
manipulator mounted on the International Space Station assists in station construction and …

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 …

The existence of the path dependent dynamic singularities limits the volume of available
workspace of free-floating space robot and induces enormous joint velocities when such …

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 …

Application of the multi-arm space robot will be more effective than single arm especially
when the target is tumbling. This paper investigates the application of particle swarm …

Resolving linear and angular momentum conservation equations in different ways, a hybrid
method was proposed to model and analyze the dynamic coupling of a space robotic …

With space technology development, the spatial robotic arm plays an increasingly important
role in space activities. Spatial robotic arms can effectively replace humans to complete in …

In free-floating mode, space manipulator systems have their actuators turned off, and exhibit
nonholonomic behavior due to angular momentum conservation. The system is …
