About this Research Topic
This Research Topic addresses problems of control interactions between dynamics (kinetics and kinematics), materials, structures, and mechanical vibrations including dynamical systems optimization and signal processing of noisy sensor signals.
The scope of the Research Topic includes manipulation and mobility, grabbing and grappling, satellite servicing. Subtopics include electromechanical design and control, such as vibration suppression, micro-gravity locomotion, machine vision for inspection and assembly, including compensation for stark lighting, glare, glint, and deep shadows, command and control interfaces including tele-operated modes, power sources and consumable recharging techniques, radiation hardening and effects on processing throughput, and thermal considerations in space robot design.
The Research topic invites broadly scoped submissions of Original Research, Systematic Review, Methods, Reviews, Mini-Reviews, Hypothesis and Theory, Perspective, Data Report, Correction, and Editorials.
Keywords: Flexible robotics, control-structural interaction, vibrations, structural dynamics, multi-body dynamics, robotics, mechatronics, deterministic artificial intelligence, nonlinear control, adaptive control, optimal control, motion mechanics kinematics
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
