This paper examines the optimal impedance control problem for large-scale space
manipulator operational tasks with unknown contact dynamics and partial measurements …

In this article, we review the state of the art in hyper-redundant manipulators for applications
in confined space such as on-orbit services. With their multiple degrees of freedom and …

In this paper, an integrated tracking control approach was developed for a continuum robot
in space capture missions. For the configuration of a three-module cable-driven continuum …

This paper presents an analysis of the capture of an uncontrolled target satellite by a
manipulator mounted on a chaser spacecraft. We compare our novel technique, called …

Recent efforts in on-orbit servicing, manufacturing, and debris removal have accentuated
some of the challenges related to close-proximity space manipulation. Orbital debris …

Collision between the grasper and the target is unavoidable in robotic-arm-based non-
cooperative spacecraft capture missions, potentially leading to various adverse effects. For …

Non-cooperative target capturing is a great challenge for space robots among space tasks,
because of the difficulty of target detumbling and base stability maintaining, which …

This paper studies the event-triggered adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control
problem for autonomous underwater vehicle system (AUVs) with deferred asymmetric time …

This article proposes a position and force control method for a dual-arm space manipulator
to grip and transport an unknown target without grapple fixtures. The hierarchical sliding …

Due to unilateral constraints of frictional contacts and the dynamic coupling phenomenon,
the study on the unfixed manipulation through frictional contacts for multi-arm space robots …
