Modular Self-Reconfigurable Satellite Inverse Kinematic Solution Method Based on Improved Differential Evolutionary Algorithm

The modular self-reconfigurable satellites (MSRSs) are a new type of satellite that can transform configuration in orbit autonomously. The inverse kinematics of MSRS is difficult to solve by conventional methods due to the hyper-redundant degrees of freedom. In this paper, the kinematic model of the...

description The modular self-reconfigurable satellites (MSRSs) are a new type of satellite that can transform configuration in orbit autonomously. The inverse kinematics of MSRS is difficult to solve by conventional methods due to the hyper-redundant degrees of freedom. In this paper, the kinematic model of the MSRS is established, and the inverse kinematic of the MSRS is transformed into an optimal solution problem with minimum pose error and minimum energy consumption. In order to find the inverse kinematic exact solution, the refractive opposition-based learning and Cauchy mutation perturbation improved differential evolutionary algorithm (RCDE) is proposed. The performance of the algorithm was examined using benchmark functions, and it was demonstrated that the accuracy and convergence speed of the algorithm were significantly improved. Three typical cases are designed, and the results demonstrate that the optimization method is effective in solving the MSRS inverse kinematics problem.
