Abstract

This paper deseribes the control of multi-arm co-operating manipulator systems handling a common object. Inverse dynamics controllers with motive force compensation are developed for the co-operating fixed-base, free-floating, and free-flying space manipulator systems. Further, the relative performances of all the three configurations are compared on two tracking problems.
