Abstract-This work is devoted to creation of transport and manipulation robotic system (TMS) to work on the surface of the spacecraft. Undoubtedly, the TMS is a powerful tool in solving problems of the study of space, so it is evident that the role of space robotics is continuously increasing due to the need to develop and maintain global communications, navigation and surveillance, permanent manned and visited space stations and bases on the Moon and on the planets of the solar system. As a basic model of a transport subsystem we proposed the symmetrical structure with seven degrees of freedom. The paper describes the structure of the system and provides its kinematics. The article presents the data obtained from the simulation in the MSC.ADAMS package. Thanks to the simulation were obtained predictive characteristics and defined functions of the robotic system. This allowed us to define a technical way to create transport and manipulation robotic system to service the outer surface of the spacecraft. Also this paper deals with the grouped operation of interacting objects (manipulators). These methods of grouped operation are mainly used to control groups of mobile robots, but as specified in [1.2], the general principles of control of the group interaction do not depend on the physical nature (and moreover on the kinematic characteristics) of the interacting objects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
