Abstract: The use of flared folding wingtip (FFWT) for load alleviation has been considered in recent studies. Most studies analyzed FFWT based on the linear assumption and ignored the nonlinearity of large wingtip folding angle. ...

Abstract: The increasing number of defunct and fragmented spacecraft poses a growing hazard to existing onorbit assets. The redundant continuum manipulator with high flexibility provides dual-arm robotic systems with apparent ...

Abstract: In this paper, an integrated tracking control approach was developed for a continuum robot in space capture missions. For the configuration of a three-module cable-driven continuum robot, the nonlinear dynamics equations ...
