Autonomous robotic satellite capture using constrained predictive control

This thesis investigates the use of model-based predictive control for the capture of a multidegree- of freedom object that moves in a somewhat arbitrary manner, using a deployable manipulator. While the study is conducted through both computer simulation and ground-based experimental investigati...
