Abstract: Nonadaptive and fuzzy logis system adaptive control (FLSAC) strategies are used to track the end effector of a flexible space robot with sensors collocated at the joints, noncollocated at the end effector and at 0.5m from the elbow joint. Collocated joint sensors satisfy hyperstability conditions but fail to capture nonminimum phase (NMP) response that causes control action delay. Noncollocated sensors capture NMP response. Results are poor for nonadaptive control with collocated and noncollocated sensors but precise control is achieved for FLSAC regardless of sensor location.

Abstract: The importance and strenghts of Multibody System (MBS) simulation allows uniquely to investigate a wide range of potential rover configurations and mobility performance on various terrains. Moreover, the importance of the dynamical effects, primarily the suspension mechanisms, can be efficiently taken into account. The main goal of MBS simulation is to reliably predict mobility performance, to reduce the amount of costly prototypes, and to give assistance in field experiments. A great advantage is the integration of the MBS simulation and the very complex tyre-soil interaction into the vehicle's conceptual design process. This ranges from kinematic investigations for gradeability, maximum step crossing and side slope driving towards the investigations of tyre-soil interaction with respect to tyre sinkage and rolling resistance. In this paper the focus lies on the simulation of wheel forces and applied torques, and on longitudinal slip of tyres on hard and soft soil for MER and RCL-E type rovers.

Abstract: Stabilization problem of a 2-axes yaw-pitch gimbal is studied for camera stabilization. In order to mechanical design of the system considered in this work, gain scheduling approach is adopted to control camera and reduce disturbances. The gimbal model is identified in close loop manner by PEM algorithm. Throughout the paper, experimental results manifest the truth of theoretical declarations. Ultimately, satisfactory performance is gained with the proposed design.
