Design and Modeling of Three Joint Mechanical Arm Based on the Free Floating Space Robot Project

The frequence and complex of space exploration activeities makes the life of the spacecraft and on-orbit service technologies becoming research hotspot in recent years. But the limitation of non-renewable fuels makes exploration mission costly and maintenance difficult, so the free floating space robot has its unique advantages. Because the research level and control technology is not maturity, study on the free floating space robot control method is the key theory and technology which is the difficulty that our country now needs to overcome, also, the research is of great theoretical and practical significance. This paper introduct an experiment scara mechanical arm based on the free floating space robot project. Main research contents of this paper include the mechanical structure design, and combining with the characteristic of the free floating mechanical arm , it makes kinematics and dynamics modals of the mechanical arm system, additional, it conduct statics test and dynamic modal analysis, which is to make sure that the mechanical arm could satisfy needs and to study its dynamic characteristics.This topic focus on structure design and mathematical modeling of the mechanical arm, it makes the research of control method and trajectory planning no longer stay on the paper, and makes the research more authenticity and accuracy.
