Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation

DEF

A robot designed to operate in a three-dimensional space.

CONT

For a spatial robot, there are two possible cases. A section may have two DOF [degrees of freedom] (most common) where the two degrees are derived from the bending motion of the robot. The set will contain two variables for each section, one to describe the bend and the other to describe the orientation of the bend in space. If we use curvature to describe the bending of the section, then we only need to use an angle about the initial tangent of a section to describe the orientation.

CONT

The motion of free-floating space robots is characterized by non-holonomic constraints, i.e., non-integrable rate constraint equations. These constraints originate from the principles of conservation of angular momentum. It is well known that these rate constraints can also be written to form an input-affine drift-less control system. Trajectory planning of these systems is extremely challenging and computation intensive since the motion must satisfy differential constraints. Under certain conditions, these drift-less control systems can be shown to be differentially flat.

CONT

To date, most of the research on the control of space robots has centered on "free-floating" robots. Free-floating robots are defined as space robots where the satellite base position and orientation are unactuated. Without base actuation, no external forces or torques act upon the system when the end-effector is not in contact with the work environment. The linear and angular momenta of the system are conserved, so the spacecraft base moves in reaction to commanded arm motion.
