Summary

The Space Station Alpha is the most significant international space project of this century and the largest international technology development project ever undertaken. The space robot manipulators will be a substantial part of the space station and will perform tasks such as assembly as well as maintenance of the station. Therefore the robot manipulators need a very sophisticated real-time control capability for gross and fine motions (i.e. compliant motions) during various operations. Moreover, the proposed dual-arm robot system servicing the Space Station requires automated motion coordination, synchronization of the arms, and controlled mechanical interaction with fixed and moving objects involved in various tasks.
