  • Abstract
    The problem of controlling a failed joint of a space manipulator is addressed. It is shown that failure recovery control may be possible when dynamic coupling exists between the link whose joint has failed and some other link whose joint is working, and when the system inertia matrix is invariant with respect to the failed joint angle. A failure recovery control technique is developed and applied to two simple examples.
