Abstract

The results of real-time assessment of the dynamics of connection by a space object manipulator using small-sized docking devices are described. Due to the limited visibility of these devices, with the help of cameras, geometric wireframe models are additionally used to display their relative position and contact interaction. They facilitate the control procedure for the manipulator operator.
