In the past decades, autonomous on-orbit servicing has become a priority for the space industry. One important application is refueling and servicing of satellites. This type of operation requires a system capable of autonomously capturing the client satellite, which is a free-floating object. In this work, a robotic manipulator is used for the interception task. The latter is divided in two phases : the approach and the capture. In the first phase, the pose of the client is estimated and its future trajectory predicted from visual data through a Kalman filter. This information is combined with the robot motion time from a trajectory generator in an ...
