Design of Docking Mechanism for Refueling Free-flying 2D Planar Robot

Free-flying robots are considered a valuable and emerging tool to support astronauts in their daily tasks in space facilities. This work presents the design and development of a free-flying robot as well as a self-contained mechanism that allows its docking for storage and tank refuelling. More specifically, this study presents a floating robotic emulation platform for a simulated demonstration of...
