One Soft Step: Bio-Inspired Artificial Muscle Mechanisms for Space Applications

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
Soft robots, devices with deformable bodies and powered by soft actuators, may fill a hitherto unexplored niche in outer space. All space-bound payloads are heavily limited in terms of mass and volume, due to the cost of launch and the size of spacecraft.

Dimensionless Analysis of Segmented Constrained Layer Damping Treatments with Modal Strain Energy Method

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2016
Constrained layer damping treatments promise to be an effective method to control vibration in flexible structures. Cutting both the constraining layer and the viscoelastic layer, which leads to segmentation, increases the damping efficiency.

Assembly Strategy for Modular Components Using a Dual-Arm Space Robot with Flexible Appendages

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
Space robotic systems tend to be more flexible and equipped with some appendages, such as solar panels and communication antennas. The inevitable vibration in the flexible appendage will occur during space missions, and it in turn affects the attitude of
