Manipulator-actuated Adaptive Integrated Translational and Rotational Stabilization for Spacecraft in Proximity Operations with Control Constraint

This paper tackles the problem of integrated translation and rotation stabilization of the spacecraft in proximity operations by proposing a novel manipulator actuation strategy. To do so, by theoretically integrating the attitude/position motion of the spacecraft and the joint motion of the manipulator, a coupled translational and rotational kinematics of the spacecraft with a single space manipulator mounted is formulated, where system unknown parameters and residual system momentum are taken into account and analyzed. Taking the joint motion as the control input, a projection-based adaptive control scheme is then developed such that the translation and rotation of the spacecraft can be robustly stabilized with the manipulator-based actuation. The closed-loop asymptotic stability is guaranteed within Lyapunov framework. Meanwhile, considering the constrained joint motion of the manipulator, the resulting control constraint issue is handled by developing an optimization based bound analysis method, which also facilitates the determination of control parameters. Two scenario numerical simulations demonstrate the effect of the designed control scheme.     

Kinematic control of redundant free-floating robotic systems

This paper is aimed at presenting solution algorithms to the inverse kinematics of a space manipulator mounted on a free-floating spacecraft. The reaction effects of the manipulator's motion on the spacecraft are taken into account by means of the so-called generalized Jacobian. Redundancy of the system with respect to the number of task variables for spacecraft attitude and manipulator end-effector pose is considered. Also, the problem of both spacecraft attitude and end-effector orientation representation is tackled by means of a non-minimal singularity-free representation: the unit quaternion. Depending on the nature of the task for the spacecraft/manipulator system, a number of closed-loop inverse kinematics algorithms are proposed. Case studies are developed for a system of a spacecraft with a six-joint manipulator attached.     

Fully distributed event-triggered asymptotic attitude coordination of multiple spacecraft systems with disturbances

This article studies the leader-following attitude coordination problem of a group of rigid spacecraft subject to communication constraint, disturbances and uncertain control coefficient matrices. A fully distributed adaptive anti-disturbance attitude coordinated control scheme with event-triggering mechanism is developed. First, the event-triggered adaptive distributed observer is designed for each follower to estimate the leader's information without continuous communication requirement. Based on the estimated information, the adaptive anti-disturbance attitude tracking controller is designed such that asymptotic coordinated tracking can be achieved under additive disturbances and actuators' partial loss of efficiency. The proposed control scheme ensures that all the closed-loop signals are bounded and the positive lower bound of inter-event times exists in each subsystem. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed control scheme.     

Passivity based adaptive Jacobian tracking for free-floating space manipulators without using spacecraft acceleration

Most research so far on trajectory tracking of free-floating space manipulators has assumed that the kinematics of the space manipulator is exactly known. However, when a space manipulator picks up different tools of unknown lengths or unknown gripping points, its kinematics and dynamics change and are difficult to derive exactly. Thus, in this paper, we have proposed a passivity based adaptive Jacobian controller for free-floating space manipulators. The proposed controller consists of a transposed Jacobian feedback and a dynamic compensation term, and the parameter adaptation laws are derived by Lyapunov-like stability analysis tools. It is shown that the end-effector motion tracking errors converge asymptotically. To avoid using spacecraft acceleration, we define a new reference velocity, which is called spacecraft reference velocity. In addition, we have also conducted passivity interpretation of the proposed controller to obtain some physical insight into its properties. Simulation results are presented to show the performance of the proposed controller.     

Real-time implementation of a robust adaptive controller for arobotic manipulator based on digital signal processors

Presents an approach to the design and real-time implementation of an adaptive controller for a robotic manipulator based on digital signal processors. The Texas Instruments DSP (TMS320C31) chips are used in implementing real-time adaptive control algorithms to provide enhanced motion control performance for robotic manipulators. In the proposed scheme, adaptation laws are derived from the direct model reference adaptive control principle based on the improved Lyapunov second method. The proposed adaptive controller consists of an adaptive feedforward and feedback controller and PI-type time-varying auxiliary control elements. The proposed control scheme is simple in structure, fast in computation, and suitable for real-time control. Moreover, this scheme does not require any accurate dynamic modeling nor values of manipulator parameters and payload. Performance of the proposed adaptive controller is illustrated by simulation and experimental results for an industrial robot with four joints in the joint space and Cartesian space     

On the Recursive Adaptive Control for Free-floating Space Manipulators

This paper is devoted to investigating the recursive implementation schemes of adaptive control for free-floating space manipulators. Using spatial vector tool and some physical properties that free-floating space manipulators enjoy, we establish a general framework on the seeking of the centripetal and Coriolis matrix that satisfies the skew symmetry requirement. Under this general framework, we propose a recursive adaptive algorithm for free-floating manipulators, which is composed of two parts: the first part is the recursive derivation of the required manipulator control torques, and the second part is the recursive updating of the spacecraft reference velocity and acceleration. To guarantee the uniform positive definiteness of the estimated spacecraft inertia, we present a parameter projection algorithm to project the estimated parameters into some pre-specified parameter region. In the next, we extend the proposed recursive adaptive algorithm to task-space control of free-floating space manipulators. We examine the performance of the proposed recursive adaptive algorithms via numerical simulation on a six-DOF space manipulator.     

Dynamics and control of space free-flyers with multiple manipulators

This paper studies the motion control of a multiple manipulator free-flying space robot chasing a passive object in near proximity. Free-flyer kinematics are developed using a minimum set of body-fixed barycentric vectors. Using a general and a quasi-coordinate Lagrangian formulation, equations of motion for model-based controllers are derived. Two model-based and one transposed Jacobian control algorithms are developed that allow coordinated tracking control of the manipulators and the spacecraft. In particular, an Euler parameter model-based control algorithm is presented that overcomes the non-physical singularities due to Euler angle representation of attitude. To ensure smooth operation, and reduce disturbances on the spacecraft and on the object just before grasping, appropriate trajectories for the motion of spacecraft/manipulators are planned. The performance of model-based algorithms is compared, by simulation, to that of a transposed Jacobian algorithm. Results show that due to the complexity of space robotic systems, a drastic deterioration in the performance of model-based algorithms in the presence of model uncertainties results. In such cases, a simple transposed Jacobian algorithm yields comparable results with much reduced computational burden, an issue which is very important in space.

Non-holonomic Path Planning of a Free-Floating Space Robotic System Using Genetic Algorithms

In this paper, the non-holonomic characteristic of a free-floating space robotic system is used to plan the path of the manipulator joints, by whose motion the base attitude and the manipulator joints attain the desired states. Here, we parameterize the joint trajectory using sinusoidal functions, whose arguments are high-order polynomials. Then, we define the cost function for optimization according to the constraint conditions and the accuracy of the space robot. Finally, genetic algorithms (GAs) are used to search for the solutions of the parameters. Compared with others, our approach has advantages as follows. (i) The motion of the manipulator and the disturbance on the base are practically constrained. (ii) The dynamic singularities cannot affect the algorithm since only the direct kinematic equations are utilized. (iii) The planned path is smooth and more applicable for the control of the manipulator. (iv) The convergence of the algorithm is not affected by the attitude singularity since the orientation error is represented by quaternion, which is globally singularity-free. The simulation results of the spacecraft with a 6-d.o.f. manipulator verify the performance and the validity of the proposed method.
