ATTITUDE OBJECT [10 records]

Record 1 2025-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
  • Astronautics
  • Collaboration with WIPO
CONT

Some papers selected single-arm space robots as actuators to touch and capture the target spacecraft in space. The in-orbit screw-driving manipulation by a single-arm space robot... can cause the rotation and translation of the target spacecraft. Since the target is a free-floating spacecraft that is not a fixed object on the ground, the target will have reactive translational motion and rotation when external forces and torques are applied to the target spacecraft during the screwdriving process. However, the translation and rotation of the target spacecraft can influence the control accuracy of the space robot, which may lead to failures during the screw-driving process. Unlike single-arm space robots, dual-arm space robots can use the cooperation of the two arms to accomplish more complicated space tasks effectively. Therefore, dual-arm space robots can be introduced to carry out the in-orbit screw-driving operation by the mission arm and maintain the position and attitude of the target spacecraft by the other arm.

CONT

What is the purpose of the conference? Problem solving? Morale building? Attitude training? Information giving or exchange?... What size... ? The size depends upon the purpose of the meeting. A morale-building conference could be large, while an instructional conference... should not be too big... if it is to achieve its object.

CONT

L'objet d'une réunion est sa finalité, son but global. C'est en fait l'ensemble dans lequel s'inscrit ce qui sera fait au cours d'une réunion.

Le but d'une réunion en définit la finalité. Le but a donc un caractère un peu lointain et global. On emploie parfois l'expression : objet de la réunion.

OBS

Les objectifs [...] sont plus précis que l'objet : par eux, on précise le niveau qui doit être atteint, le niveau d'avancement que la réunion va préparer.

CONT

Par objets des réunions-discussions, nous entendrons ce à quoi elles servent, c'est-à-dire leurs fonctions externes.

CONT

Lorsqu'on a clarifié l'objectif que l'on veut atteindre, que le but est perçu par la majorité du groupe, il reste à élaborer un programme pour y parvenir.
