Magnetic Docking Mechanism for Free-flying Space Robots with Spherical Surfaces
Keisuke WATANABE,Keisuke WATANABE
The autonomous operation of robots in the International Space Station (ISS) is required to maximize the use of limited resources and enable astronauts to concentrate more on valuable tasks. To achieve these goals, we are developing a station where the robot approaches, docks, charges, and then undocks. In this paper, the authors propose a magnetic docking mechanism for free-flying robots with sphe...
