Manipulation of a floating object by two space manipulators

摘要

This paper deals with manipulation of a floating object by two space robots with manipulators. It is shown in this paper that a total system consisting of two robots and a floating object could be treated as a distributed system, and then a new generalized Jacobian matrix (GJM) is defined. Moreover, it is confirmed that this type of GJM is effective for using adaptive control for decreasing the amount of calculation for the control algorithm.
