Abstract

This paper analyzes the attitude change of a space flapping robot (SFR) by flapping motion. The SFR consists of a satellite body and two wings, which are used for attitude control of the satellite body and each of which can be moved about two axes in each joint connected with the satellite. For developing the control algorithm of the SFR body, the attitude change of the body after one cyclic motion of wing flapping is analytically examined using Green´s theorem, where a specified wing motion is assumed, and its value can be described by a simple algebraic equation. The validity of this analysis is confirmed by computer simulation
