Control Strategy Design of Large Space Structures

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Establishing Design Space in critical steps and Control Strategy Quality

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Coordinated Control of Space Robot Teams for the On-Orbit Construction of Large Flexible Space Structures

Teams of autonomous space robots are needed for future space missions such as the construction of large solar power stations and large space telescopes in earth orbit. This work focuses on the control of teams of robots performing construction tasks such as manipulation and assembly of large space structures. The control of the robot structure system is difficult. The space structures are flexi...

An Experimental Study of the Control of Space Robot Teams Assembling Large Flexible Space Structures

Future very large space structures, such as solar power stations and space telescopes, will need to be assembled in orbit by teams of cooperating space robots. Controlling these space robots is difficult due to the dynamic interactions forces between the robots and the large and very flexible structures. Sensing and actuation are also limited in space. A number of control algorithms have been p...
