The book focuses on control methods of hardware-in-the-loop simulation robots on the ground to simulate the contact dynamics of spacecraft and space manipulators in space. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed. This is achieved by providing an in-depth study of several major topics such as control system structure and modeling, simulation distortion analysis, distortion compensation control methods, simulation and experimental verification, and applications. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of practical issues in the control of hardware-in-the-loop space...
