Introduction
Space robotsUsed for in-orbit construction, Satellite servicing.Maintenance of large space structures.
First in space 1981 Canadian Canadarm.Latest 2008- DextreA blend between vehicle and robot.Vehicle to arm ratio 10:1.A free-floating space robotic system
Spacecrafts position and attitude are not actively controlled.Does not dynamically interact with environment.
No external jets/thrusters used during manipulator activity.

Linear and angular momenta conserved.Spacecraft moves freely - due to dynamical disturbancescaused by the manipulators motion.This disturbance of the base - deviation of the end-effector.Angular momentum conservation constraints non-integrable - non-holonomic system.
Space manipulator to perform (i) Motion control (ii)Force or torque control tasks.

Motion control task - Difficult to achieve due tofree-floating base and dynamic coupling betweenthe manipulator and the base.The satellites attitude stabilization is necessary inmost cases to retain the communication link.Space robots are subjected to interaction forceswhenever they perform tasks involving motion,constrained by the environment.These interactions forces or moments must berestricted.

The ETS-VII , or Engineering Test Satellite No. 7,was a satellite developed and launched bythe National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA).It was launched aboard an H-IIrocket from Tanegashima Space Center , on 28November 1997. [1]
The ETS-VII was equipped with a 2 metrelong robotic arm , which was used to carry out severalexperiments related to rendezvous docking and spacerobotics. [1]

It was the worlds first satellite to beequipped with a robotic arm,and alsothe first unmanned spacecraft toconduct autonomous rendezvousdocking operations successfully.
Although it was originally intended tobe used for 1.5 years, the satellite wasfunctional for a period of almost five
years

Dextre , also known as the Special PurposeDexterous Manipulator (SPDM ), is a two armedrobot, or telemanipulator , which is part of
the Mobile Servicing System on the InternationalSpace Station (ISS), and extends the function of this system to replace some activities otherwise
requiring spacewalks .It was launched March 11, 2008 on mission STS-123 .
7/28/2019 Pathak P. M., Space Robots
12/54
Dextre is part of Canada 's contribution to the ISSand is named to represent its dexterous nature. It issometimes also referred to as the Canada Hand ,
by analogy with the Canadarm and Canadarm2 .[1]
In the early morning of February 4, 2011, Dextrecompleted its first official assignment which
consisted in unpacking two pieces for Kounotori2 while the on-board crew was sleeping.

Stationary versus Mobile Base FormulationsInitial conditions for the link 0, velocity and acceleration for each arm willdepend on the vehicle state.The vehicle dynamics depend on
the arm interaction forces and moments,the external forces and moments acting on the vehicle.
AssumptionsSingle manipulator - revolute joints - open chain kinematic configuration.
Rigid links.Joint between link i and i+1 is numbered i+1.Link frames - named by number according to the link they are attached.Rotational inertias are defined about frames fixed at CM of body.

A free-floating space manipulator consists of a serial robot
mounted on a satellite base.Generalised coordinatesJoint rotation ( i) of manipulator.Euler angle of the base ( , , ) in 3-2-1 convention.
Links are numbered - with zero from base to the last link.All joints are assumed to be revolute.The vehicle frame (V) (located at the CM of vehicle).An absolute frame A is considered.All linear velocities are referred to inertial reference frameAll angular velocities referred to link principal coordinateframe.

Capsule for Vehicle Principal to EulerAngular Velocity Conversion
Euler angle velocity andvehicle velocity are relatedas
Input - principal angular velocity of the vehicle (3x1matrix as flow input,)
Output - Euler angular velocity (3x1 matrix as theflow output)
A transformer structure iscreated for matrix
multiplication. The output - product of the
3x3 matrix represented by thetransformer structure and theinput.

Reference trajectory-
circular path of radius0.4m (i.e. the length of second link).
For ground robot it wouldhave traced the circular path.But for space robot failsto trace the circular pathdue to reaction of spacerobot on space vehicle.

Many planetary exploration rovers have beendeveloped since 1960s for planetary exploration.Based on the features of the mobile mechanism in
robots, planetary exploration rovers have varioustypes such as wheeled, legged and tracked.Wheeled mobile mechanisms have excellent
features, such as high speed on a relatively flatterrain and easy control; so many researchers havedesigned their exploration rovers with wheeled
structure.

Wheeled structure planetary rovers havefour-wheel, six-wheel and eight-wheel,etc.
Among these rovers, the six-wheeledmobile rover with rocker bogie mechanismhas superior adaptability and obstacle
climbing capability.These rovers have been used in Mars
Rovers.
