This paper presents a novel way to derive the analytical expression of the reaction torque acted on the satellite base's centroid firstly. The reaction torque is acted as the optimization index to achieve the satellite base disturbance minimization in this paper. The null-space based solution and Lagrange multipliers based solution are utilized to solve the reaction torque plus joint torque minimization...
This paper proposes the MHIC (Modified Hybrid Impedance Control) strategy of the redundant robot for ORU replacements based on the ground testbed. First, the operation process is analyzed and the corresponding strategies of ORU replacements are proposed. Then, based on the traditional hybrid impedance control method, MHIC of redundant robots is proposed achieving compliance or force tracking in different...
For the design of controllers, D-decomposition techniques like the Parameter Space Approach (PSA) are widely used to identify the space of stabilizing controller parameters. The PSA approach is based on sweeping over the entire range of singular frequencies which leads to an expensive numerical computation and a waste of time to obtain the boundaries of the stability region. Two novel methods are...
The paper mainly validates that the dynamics characteristic of the free-floating space robot during space manipulator capturing the target satellite. The dynamics verification system adopts the hybrid simulation method, which combines the real ground hardware experiment and the software simulation. The hardware experiment component can acquire the joint driving torques, which are the inputs of the...
In order to achieve large tolerance capture and high stiffness connection for space payload operations, a Chinese large-scale space end-effector (EER) was developed. Friction is a kind of strong nonlinear factor that severely degrades performance of EER. To predict the friction amplitude and compensate the dynamic error, the friction model based Generalized Maxwell-Slip model (GMS) is built. In order...
In the paper, a new method named Cartesian Space Synchronous Impedance Control (CSSIC) has been developed. The method combines the synchronous control and the impedance control together which can not only be used in the position control but can also realize the purpose of force control of the system with multi-manipulators. Therefore, if there are multi-manipulators grasping the same object, it can...
In order to verify and test the dynamics characteristic of free-floating space robot, a hybrid dynamics simulation experiment based on hardware and software simulation is present in this paper. Firstly, a set of ground experiment system which consists of the joint electronic simulator, the central controller and dynamics simulation computer is built to simulate the motion of space manipulator and...
A key technology of space robots is to maintain the satellite attitude while space service is proceeding. This paper discusses the motion planning and control methods for both robot satellite attitude and robotic end-effector actions in the form of collaboration. A single gimbal control moment gyro (SGCMG) system is adopted to maintain the satellite attitude because of higher output torque than traditional...
This paper presents an overview of the structure and requirements of a ground engineering model for a space remote manipulator system, with long arm and large torque driver capacity. The system consists of a 6 DOFs robot arm composed of six identical modular joints, and a large-error tolerated end effector. A FPGA based joint controller hardware structure is built to form a distributed control scheme...
In the process of space robot capturing, the space robot end-effector was in open-loop state, and the robot controller could not estimate if the capture interface was in desired position. Hence a force sense unit adapted to vicious outer space environment used as the capturing force feedback to the control system was designed. By the method of mechatronics integration design, the force sense unit...
In free-flying space robotic system, the thruster jets will compensate the disturbances induced by manipulator to keep the attitude of the robot base invariable. For saving the expensive fuel that thruster jets cost, point-to-point path planning method in joint space for minimizing base reaction is proposed in this paper. The sinusoidal and polynomial functions are used here to parameterize the joint...
