Momentum dumping for space robots [PDF]
2017 IEEE 56th Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2017 During the robotic capture of a target object on orbit, accidental contacts may happen. During contacts, momentum is transferred to the system, causing a drift of the space robot in the inertial space. When no remediation is taken, the arm might converge to singularity or workspace limit within seconds, compromising the capture operation.
