USDPresenting the established principles underpinning space robotics (conservation of momentum and energy, stability) with a thorough and modern approach, chapters build from general physical foundations through an extensive treatment of kinematics of multi-body systems, and then to conservation principles in dynamics. The latter part of the book focuses on real-life applications related to space systems. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous solved examples, illustrative applications and MATLAB, the author includes: an explanation of basic space mechanics and the dynamics of space vehicles; a rigorous treatment of conservation and variational principles in dynamics and in control theory that can be applied to a range of space vehicles and robotic systems; and a systematic presentation of the application of dynamics and control theory to real spacecraft systems.
- Includes in-depth information on several new topics that will help in tackling dynamics related problems associated with new and future space missions
- Benefits researchers in spacecraft design by providing applications of a number of new and emerging methodologies for future autonomous systems
- A unique approach to presenting the dynamics of space manipulators and planetary rovers helps in understanding space robotics
Reviews & endorsements
'It is quite impressive to explain such complex and highly integrated subjects in such an understandable way. The book provides us a unified method for the dynamic motion modelling of different kinds of Space vehicles with various motion characteristics.' Zheng Jie Wang, Beijing Institute of Technology
'This book is useful particularly as a single source of information for the broad spectrum of technologies related to space robotics and would be a good overview of the most established concepts and methodologies for graduate students and researchers entering the field. It would be a suitable text for a dedicated taught module in space robotics, or as a guide for graduate study in robotics, dynamics and control related to space engineering … Overall, this book is a worthwhile read for capable space roboticists looking to build or extend their knowledge of the field.' Mark A. Post, The Aeronautical Journal
