Abstract Space robotics is considered one of the most promising approaches for on-orbit
servicing (OOS) missions such as docking, berthing, refueling, repairing, upgrading …

This paper presents a novel dynamical system for the perturbed relative motion of deputy
satellite. The governing equations are derived in the LVLH frame under the second zonal …

On-orbit servicing involves a new class of space missions in which a servicer spacecraft is
launched into the orbit of a target spacecraft, the client. The servicer navigates to the client …

Exploitation of space must benefit from the latest advances in robotics. On-orbit servicing is a
clear candidate for the application of autonomous rendezvous and docking mechanisms …

An industrial robot with a six-axis force/torque sensor is usually used to produce a zero-
gravity environment for testing space robotic operations. However, using traditional force …

The increasing complexity of systems entails an increasing complexity of simulation models.
Likewise, heterogeneity in system components corresponds to heterogeneous simulation …

Supervisory control technology is widely used to improve product quality in mineral grinding
process (MGP). To ensure safety, new supervisory control method needs to be fully tested …

By effectively utilizing the fidelity of a physical simulation and the flexibility of a numerical
simulation, the hybrid simulation is applicable to test the complicated docking contact …
