Optimal Path Planning for Minimizing Base Disturbance of Space Robot

The path planning of free-floating space robot in space on-orbit service has been paid more and more attention. The problem is more complicated because of the interaction between the space robot and base. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the base position and attitude disturbance to improve the path planning of free-floating space robot, reducing the fuel consumption for the position and attitude maintenance. In this paper, a reasonable path planning method to solve the problem is presented, which is feasible and relatively simple. First, the kinematic model of 6 degrees of freedom free-floating space robot is established. And then the joint angles are parameterized using the 7th order polynomial sine functions. The fitness function is defined according to the position and attitude of minimizing base disturbance and constraints of space robot. Furthermore, an improved chaotic particle swarm optimization (ICPSO) is presented. The proposed algorithm is compared with the standard PSO and CPSO algorithm in the literature by the experimental simulation. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is more effective than the two other approaches, such as easy to find the optimal solution, and this method could provide a satisfactory path for the free-floating space robot.
