Development of Large-scale End-effector for Space Station

Abstract

Abstract:

Researches and applications of large-scale end-effector for space station were introduced. Performance characteristics, key technologies and typical applications of space shuttle end-effector, Canada end-effector, Japan JEMRMS end-effector and European Space Agency end-effector were overviewed in detail. Ultimately, common technologies and future development trends for space station end-effctor were given, which provide a reference for the construction and development of China's own space station.

Key words: space station, large-scale end-effector, space shuttle, robotic arm
