Tele-manipulation of a Satellite Mounted Robot by an On-ground Astronaut

چکیده
An experiment to tele-operate a robot arm on a satellite from an onground control station was conducted by an astronaut who has extensive on-orbit experience in operating the Space Shuttle’s robotic arm. This experiment aimed to evaluate / compare a teleoperation system, which we developed, with the teleoperation system of the Space Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS). There was a time delay of about 6 seconds in the teleoperation control loop of the satellite-mounted robot. However, the teleoperation experiments were satisfactory conducted with helps of various operator assistance functions.

ETS-VII (Engineering Test Satellite No.7) was launched on Nov.1997 to conduct automated rendezvous docking and space robot technology experiments. A 6dof robot arm which is mounted on the ETS-VII chaser satellite were tele-operated from ground and were used to in various experiments such as ORU exchange, equipment handling and satellite capture. These results came by overcoming various troubles...
متن کاملAttitude Compensation of Space Robots for Capturing Operation
Unlike ground-base robot manipulator, the space manipulator has no fixed base. The dynamic reaction forces and moments due to the manipulator motion will disturb the space base, especially, when the space robot is in free-floating situation, The longer the motion time of space manipulator is, the greater the disturbance to the base will be. Hence, it is essential to resolve the attitude balance...

The ability to perform different tasks by a serial manipulator mounted on legged robots, increases the capabilities of the robot. The position/force control problem of such a robot in the stance phase with point contacts on the ground is investigated here. A target plane with known stiffness is specified in the workspace. Active joints of the legs and serial manipulator are used to exert the de...

متن کاملExperimental Study for Dual-Manipulator-Based Operation of Floating Massive Payload
A robot satellite with dual-manipulators is one of the choices to operate payload in orbit, for example, to capture or deorbit damaged satellites. We have constructed a ground experiment simulator system including two 7-degree-of-freedom (DOF) manipulators as a chaser satellite model and floating testbeds on a flat floor as target satellite models. This system is a tele-operation ground experim...
