Using structures in Lie Group Theory and Differential Geometry, we develop singularity-free geometric frameworks for modeling underactuated open-chain multi-body systems with multi-DoF joints, in the presence of realistic disturbances in an orbital environment. Our focus is on the development of workspace optimal trajectory generators and robust output-tracking controllers for uncertain space manipulator systems experiencing non-zero momentum interpreted as affine nonholonomic constraints. In this research, we employ unique geometric characteristics of space manipulator systems hand-in-hand with deep reinforcement learning methods for trajectory learning and control.<\/p>\n<p>The precision and robustness of GN&amp;C systems for in-orbit missions are adversely affected by orbital disturbances, which are captured by a high-fidelity simulator to examine the realistic performance of the proposed GN&amp;C strategies. The simulator will be able to model high-order gravity terms, aerodynamic drag, and solar pressure. Additional uncertainties, e.g., friction, flexibility, estimated target parameters\/states, and sensor noise and dynamics that cannot be accurately simulated will be included through a kinematic 6-DoF hardware-in-the-loop facility consisting of two cooperative robot manipulator systems (KUKA LBR iiwa).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/space-robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/GifManipulatorFixedtarget.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-599 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/space-robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/GifManipulatorFixedtarget-240x130.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/space-robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/GifManipulatorFixedtarget-240x130.gif 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/space-robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/GifManipulatorFixedtarget-400x217.gif 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/space-robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/GifManipulatorFixedtarget-160x87.gif 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/space-robotics\/wp-content\/uploads\/GifManipulatorFixedtarget-360x195.gif 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Capturing a moving target<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This research focuses on dynamic modeling, planning of the deployment, and execution of the autonomous motion of the robot arm of a space manipulator system in the manipulator deployment phase when chasing a noncooperative target (e.g. space debris).
