Research Abstract |
The control of an orbital satellite robot mounted with manipulators is studied employing computer graphic simulation method. Movement of the satellite when the manipulators are working in space should be treated as free flying multi-linked body, therefore its control is consequently different to that of the robot working on the ground. The investigators settle a typical kinematic problem arising in such case as the satellite makes capture of a moving target with the manipulator in space. Visual information of the target obtained through CCD camera mounted on the satellite is assumed available for the robot to control its manipulator to capture along with optimal trajectory. The configuration, dimension, and relative velocity are given in consideration with actual cases. As a result of the investigation , the followings are concluded; (a) the optimal control of manipulators considering the guaranteed working area, (b) on-line resolved rate control of the manipulator moving along linearly straight trajectory, and (c) capturing without any shocking force against the target.
