Aerial manipulation aims at combining the versatility and the agility of some aerial platforms
with the manipulation capabilities of robotic arms. This letter tries to collect the results …

Manipulators can be utilized for various purposes during space missions, eg, Canadarm2
manipulator mounted on the International Space Station assists in station construction and …

Visually guided robotic capturing of a moving object often requires long-term prediction of
the object motion not only for a smooth capture but because visual feedback may not be …

A significant number of the planned on-orbit servicing and active debris removal missions
will be performed by a spacecraft equipped with a robotic arm. In this paper we propose a …

An algorithm to guide the capture of a tumbling resident space object by a spacecraft
equipped with a robotic manipulator is presented. A solution to the guidance problem is …

This paper addresses the trajectory-planning problem for a free-floating space-robotic
system for which there are no actuations on the base spacecraft. The mission considered is …

SPACE robotic systems are given serious attention by several space agencies around the
world not only for repairing, rescuing, or refueling failed satellites but also for removal of …

A set of laboratory experiments are conducted to demonstrate the autonomous capture of a
simulated resident space object by a simulated spacecraft equipped with a robotic …

As the concentration of large space debris increases, how rendezvous maneuvers involving
these typically non-cooperative, freely tumbling bodies are planned and executed is …

THIS Note addresses the optimal trajectory planning problem for space robotic manipulators
where the base spacecraft's attitude is actively controlled. Space robotic systems differ from …
