Full-state Physical Mirroring Method of Space Manipulator Based on the Multiple Decoupling Principles

To achieve the goal of an efficient full-state ground test of a 7DOF space manipulator, the kinematic and dynamical coupling characteristics of space manipulator are investigated, and a mirror test method based on the principle of multiple decoupling is proposed to solve the problem of highly dynamic three-dimensional motion conditions of space manipulator that are difficult to verify by ground simulation. It firstly decouples the space manipulator into a 3dof unit,1dof unit and another 3dof unit combination. It achieves joint load reduction through inter-joint dynamics coupling. Afterwards, it designs an air-floating support device to realize the joint space 7DOF motion, and proposes a constant damping joint dynamics compensation control algorithm to eliminate the dynamics disturbances introduced by inter-joint decoupling. Then, an industrial mirror robot arm with consistent kinematic parameters and a highly dynamic mirror control algorithm are designed to map the joint motion states of the space manipulator to the ground robotic arm, and a ground simulation of the Cartesian space motion state of the space robot arm is realized by decoupling the joint space from the Cartesian space motion. Finally, the ground experiment of target grasping based on the physical mirroring method is designed to realize the high-speed full-state ground experiment verification of complex tasks of space manipulator.
