Abstract

In this paper,a visual servoing approach is developed to capture the docking rings of tumbling non-cooperative satellites with a space manipulator.The primary challenge addressed is the potential for the docking ring to leave the monocular camera's field-of-view as the manipulator approaches the target,due to the ring's large size.To solve this issue,a two-phase visual servoing scheme combining a monocular camera and a three-line structured light vision system is proposed.In an effort to augment the success rate and safety of capture operations,several constraints are formulated,encompassing manipulator's kinematics,monocular camera's field-of-view,obstacle avoidance,structured light's breakpoints and smooth capture.Subsequently,a nonlinear model predictive controller is proposed to manage these constraints in real-time and regulate the system.System models are established based on image moments and pose for each phase,selecting these features as visual feedback to simplify the formulation of servo constraints and avoid the complex circle-based pose measurement.Furthermore,to ensure unbiased predictions,the model distur-bances arising from the imprecise estimation of target motion parameter are observed using an extended Kalman filter,which are then incorporated into the predictive control framework.The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of this scheme.
