How scientists designed the assembly method of 3-arm robot to fix the load plate on space station?

It is necessary to install the extravehicular experimental load by using the load plate in the space station. However, the extravehicular environment is full of danger, which poses a threat to the health and even safety of astronauts. Using robots to replace astronauts to complete this task can effectively reduce the threat to astronauts. In a research paper recently published in Space: Science & Technology , Dr. Sun from the School of Mechatronical Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, proposed the autonomous assembly method of the load plate to solve the difficulties in computing the inverse kinematics of the redundant manipulator, the challenges of complex environmental lighting, and difficulties of matching multiple groups of holes and pins in the load plate assembly task.
