... process. Design/methodology/approach Inspired by the research of robotic high-precision compliant assembly, this paper introduces the concept of Attractive Region in Environment (ARIE) into the space manipulator–assisted module docking. The contact configuration space of the docking mechanism...

.... The hypothesis of force field with equilibrium point is similar to previous research in attractive region in environment (ARIE). The ARIE is an innovative concept for realizing high-precision manipulation with a low-precision system, which is initially proposed by Qiao (2000) . It is a kind of constrained...
