Abstract
Space manipulators are expected to perform more challenging missions in on-orbit service (OOS) systems, but there are some unique characteristics that are not found on ground-based robots, such as dynamic coupling between space bases and manipulators, limited fuel supply, and working with unfixed bases. This paper focuses on trajectory-tracking control and internal force control for free-floating close-chain manipulators. First, the kinematics and dynamics of free-floating close-chain manipulators are given using the momentum conservation and spatial operator algebra (SOA) methodologies, respectively. Furthermore, an adaptive fuzzy integral sliding mode controller (AFISMC) based on time delay estimation (TDE) was designed for trajectory-tracking control, and a proportional-integral (PI) control strategy was adopted for internal force control. The global asymptotic stability of the proposed controller was proven by using the Lyapunov methodology. Three cases were conducted to verify the efficiency of the controller by using numerical simulations on two six-link manipulators with a free-floating base. The controller presents the desired tracking capability.
