Abstract
Space-debris removal mission which is imperative but dangerous strongly requires unmanned space robot. One of the biggest issues of the development of such space robot is a target capture technology. Especially, capture of the large plate-structure like a solar array paddle is difficult because of its flexibility and fragility. In this paper, a novel gripper system for the large plate- structure is proposed. The gripper has plate-shaped finger and high friction material which mimics a gecko foot with CNT. The feasibility study and experimental result of the gripper for a space-debris removal mission is discussed.
