Abstract

This paper discusses the collision dynamics modeling of a free-floating space-based robot in the process of on-orbit satellite capturing, and it also analyzes the stability control for the compounded body of the space-based robot and target after the capturing operation is completed. First the method of multibody system dynamics modeling is employed in combination with the characteristics of collision dynamics of the space-based robot while it captures the target satellite to set up a dynamics model for the free-floating space-based robot during its on-orbit capture of the floating satellite. Based on it, the movement speed for the compounded body of the space-based robot and target is calculated. In view of the fact that for the inertia parameters of both the satellite and the space-based robot system are unknown, the model and the theory of neural network control and Lyapunov stability theory are used to design a Gaussian radial basis function neural network control scheme for the compounded body to move stably under the influence of collision and impact during the capturing process. Thus, the effective control is realized for capturing a target satellite. The Gaussian radial basis function neural network control scheme has the obvious advantages of requiring no feedback and measurement of the position,velocity,acceleration,attitude angle velocity and attitude angle acceleration of the floating base. Finally, the validity and applicability of the control scheme are manifested by system numerical simulation.
