Research Abstract |
In this project, we mainly studied an ultra high-speed micro-gravity hybrid simulator which can simulate complicated motions such as involved in the interactions between an object and a space telerobot under the micro-gravity environment. The developed hybrid simulator is able to realize a relatively precise simulation since it mainly depends on numerical calculations as much as possible. In addition, to achieve a high band-width response, it employs a HEXA-type high-speed parallel link robot in its physical part. The simulation results are displayed with the computer graphics. The salient goals achieved in this project are addressed bellow. 1. A prototype of the hybrid motion simulator has been constructed and the experiments to evaluate its frequency response bandwidth and the basic performance, are conducted. 2. The interaction forces and torques are modeled by the impedance of the simulator system to achieve the precise simulation results. 3. To evaluate the above-proposed modeling, the interactions between the rigid bodies have been simulated. Moreover, to exhibit a multi-point contact motion, the same simulations are also performed with a three-fingered hand. 4. We have also evaluated the simulator's characteristics, analytically, and verified the impact dynamics of the hybrid motion simulation, experimentally, by comparing it with a real collision phenomenon executed in a micro-gravity drop-shaft facility. 5. The teleoperation facility has been added to this developed hybrid simulator. Consequently, an operator can now teleoperate a graphics model of a space manipulator whose motions are to be simulated with the hybrid simulator.
