Cooperative Manipulation Testbed: A Facility for Space Robot Control System Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Cooperative Manipulation Testbed (CMT) in the Dexterous Robotics Laboratory at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) is a facility for developing and testing control systems for space robotics and a general robotics testbed for system development. The CMT consists of three seven degree-of-freedom commercial manipulators with flexible tooling arranged in a configuration inspired by other dexterous space robots. Past projects supported by the CMT include controls system and softgoods development for the Robonaut project at NASA JSC, hardware-in-the-loop testing for the Robot Colonies project from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and a visual servo control experiment for the Space Solar Power project.

Manipulation Control of a Flexible Space Free Flying Robot Using Fuzzy Tuning Approach
Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...
متن کاملObject Manipulation Using Cooperative Mobile Multi-Robot Systems
Transportation of large objects or their manipulation in hazardous environments are tasks where the utilization of groups of mobile robots working in a cooperative fashion can be of great advantage. To execute such tasks, a multirobot formation control framework is necessary in order to coordinate the motions of the robots in the group. In this article, a particular formation control approach c...
متن کاملFlexible Foot/Ankle Based on PKM with Force/Torque Sensor for Humanoid Robot
This paper describes the development of a novel humanoid robot foot/ankle based on an orientation Parallel Kinematic Mechanism for intelligent and flexible control. With three identical Universal-Prismatic-Spherical prismatic-actuated limbs and a central Universal-Revolute passive limb, the PKM can perform three degrees of freedom rotation motions. In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...
متن کاملAn Adaptive-Robust Control Approach for Trajectory Tracking of two 5 DOF Cooperating Robot Manipulators Moving a Rigid Payload
In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...
متن کاملTask-space Control of Electrically Driven Robots
Actuators of robot operate in the joint-space while the end-effect or of robot is controlled in the task-space. Therefore, designing a control system for a robotic system in the task-space requires the jacobian matrix information for transforming joint-space to task-space, which suffers from uncertainties. This paper deals with the robust task-space control of electrically driven robot manipula...
