Abstract:In this paper, a novel testing method for onground test of space manipulator is introduced. The configurations of the testbed and the manipulator are described in detail. To accomplish the test of three-dimensional movement, a modified testbed using air-bearings is designed. By adopting the two-step testing method, which is presented in this paper, the three-dimensional positioning accuracy and the threedimensional attitude accuracy of the space manipulator can be measured. The main idea of this method is to d… Show more
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.
