Space exploration and exploitation depend on the development of on-orbit robotic
capabilities for tasks such as servicing of satellites, removing of orbital debris, or …

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 …

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 …

During maneuvers of a space manipulator system (SMS), thruster fuel in its spacecraft (S/C)
results in sloshing effects which impact its dynamics and performance. In this work, sloshing …

This paper studies parameters identification and minimizing base disturbances problems
after the space manipulator capturing an unknown target. A concurrent learning algorithm …

Freshwater ecosystems are vast areas that are constantly changing and evolving. To
maintain the ecosystem as well as the structures located close to bodies of water, frequent …

Abstract Space debris removal remains a leading issue for space missions due to the rapidly
increasing number of objects in low earth orbit that pose a substantial risk of collision with …

The use of manipulators in space missions has become popular, as their applications can
be extended to various space missions such as on-orbit servicing, assembly, and debris …

The increased complexity of the tasks that on-orbit robots have to undertake has led to an
increased need for manipulation dexterity. Space robots can become more dexterous by …

Accurate information of inertial parameters is critical to motion planning and control of space
robots. Before the launch, only a rudimentary estimate of the inertial parameters is available …
