Dynamic Modelling and Continuous Trajectory Tracking Control of Space Robots Based on Lie Group SE(3) by Yong Wang, Kejie Gong, Yurui Duan, Boyong He, Hong Ma

“…Firstly, the dynamics equations for a space robot in the joint space and workspace are established separately in the framework of Lie group SE(3) and screw theory based on the Lagrange principle. Secondly, based on the proposed feedback form, a PD (proportional derivative) control law of output force on the end-effector is designed, and a closed-loop continuous tracking control strategy is proposed using the force Jacobian matrix and the kinematic model. …”
