Aerospace Robotics III (GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences)
By Jerzy Sasiadek
It presents recent developments in space robotics, such as manipulators, which are widely used in space for orbital operations, for example, the International Space Station mobile service system and the shuttle remote control system. These manipulators are operated by astronauts and installed on large platforms, making the impact of the manipulator movement on the platform condition unimportant. The application of manipulators for capture maneuvers in unmanned service missions or active debris removal requires reliable control algorithms that take into account the floating nature of a processor-equipped spacecraft. As such, the book presents the possibilities of using space processors for exploration and a variety of space operations. Furthermore, it discusses new methods for the control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) using vision systems and sensor integration methodologies. These autonomous aviation vehicles can be used to deliver materials and emergencies, as well as survey and maintenance.
