Abstract: According to the requirements of on-orbit service and maintenance technology for module replacement of spacecrafts in space engineering, the research progresses and achievements of docking interface technology of ORUs at home and abroad were reviewed. The technical requirements, functional principles and performance indexes were summarized on the basis of the action characteristics for the robotic arms and docking interfaces. The gaps of docking interface technology of ORUs were compared and analyzed between China and foreign countries. The main development directions were proposed for the key technologies of the ORU docking interfaces in China.
