Development and application of Interchangeable Tools for Modular In-Orbit Assembly Scenarios
Zusammenfassung
As space ecosystems are expected to experience significant growth, leading to an expansion of the infrastructure, the demand for In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) to maintain and manage this infrastructure is steadily rising. The European Robotics for Space Ecosystem (EU-RISE) project aims to increase Europe's independence in participating in future space ecosystems and developing new space technologies by providing a modular approach for the autonomous assembly of a satellite with an antenna reflector as an assembly scenario. As part of the project, the scenario will be demonstrated to illustrate the application of modularity and autonomy as a future solution for on-orbit assembly. By utilizing Multi-Purpose Tools (MPT) mounted on robotic arms, a range of assembly tasks can be executed with a single tool. This versatility is enabled by three different Tool Sockets that can be modularly attached to the MPT via the Standard Interface for Robotic Manipulation (SIROM) and interchanged according to the specific assembly task. With two gripper sockets and one wrench socket, different geometries can be autonomously gripped and assembled. This paper describes the different components involved and presents the assembly demonstration scenario, detailing the roles of each component.
