Abstract
Adaptation to partial failure is one of the most important requirements for space robotics, since space robots cannot be repaired after they have been launched. We propose a decentralized autonomous control algorithm for hyper-redundant manipulators that uses parallel processing with low-performance processors to achieve this adaptation. In this paper, a number of manipulator joints are locked at a certain angle in a computer simulation and the adaptability of the control algorithm to these failures is assessed. The control algorithm successfully continues its positioning task at a rate of more than 90%, even after half of its joints have failed. The control algorithm is also compared with behavior-based control architecture.
