“…Japan has launched three projects related to space robots (Masanori et al, 1998;Oda et al, 1999;Sato and Wakabayashi, 2001), all of which have been through on-orbit demonstration verification, especially the ETS-VII project which performed the first experiment in autonomous grasping. The Japanese approach to on-orbit service development has achieved a great leap forward in evolution from a robot arm to a free-drive flight robot.…”

Intelligent unmanned autonomous systems are some of the most important applications of artificial intelligence (AI). The development of such systems can significantly promote innovation in AI technologies. This paper introduces the trends in the development of intelligent unmanned autonomous systems by summarizing the main achievements in each technological platform. Furthermore, we classify the relevant technologies into seven areas, including AI technologies, unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, service robots, space robots, marine robots, and unmanned workshops/intelligent plants. Current trends and developments in each area are introduced.

“…On-orbit servicing of the cooperative target spacecraft is already mature, such as ETS-VII [2] and Orbital Express [3] demonstration missions have been successfully done. In recent years, several projects for on-orbit servicing of the non-cooperative target spacecraft have been undertaken around the world.…”

This paper presents an approach for identification of mass properties of the docked spacecraft only by the motion of space manipulator. The approach makes use of the conservation of momentum, and the corresponding identification algorithm that does not require torque or acceleration measurement is developed based the recursive least square, and can be solved in two steps. The first step is to identify the mass and mass center of the docked spacecraft based on the principle of linear momentum conservation; and the second step is to identify the inertia tensor of the docked spacecraft based on the principle of angular momentum conservation. The significant advantage of the approach is to decouple the mass, mass center and inertia tensor, without consuming valuable jet fuel, and requires only a wide range of motion of space manipulator. Validity of the identified result is confirmed by the simulation.

“…Although the use of space robots in space missions has entered the trial stage, just as Orbital Express [5] and ETS-VII [6] has been test in orbit, these space robots can only complete the work of simple capturing and releasing on-orbit due to the limitations of their kinematics. The Dexterous Manipulator which mounted on the International Space Station which has a well kinematic characteristic doesn't same as the truly space robots, because it is only suitable for large carrier.…”

For question of traditional space manipulator which kinematic characteristic is worse, replace the manipulator with ground snake-like robots, and bring forward a new type space snake manipulator. Takes it as the study object, the paper analyze and simulate the kinematic characteristic which concludes workspace and dexterous. From the results, the following conclusion can own: The space snake manipulator can advance the kinematic redundancy in the case of the less number of link, and avoid the limitation of workspace reducing which caused by dynamic singularity, and can increase the dexterous characteristics of the end-manipulator.
