 note = {The majority of robotic arms used nowadays in Space are articulated 'joint-type' arms, adapted to dynamic purposes and especially manipulation. However, due to the rigidity of the different parts and the space occupied by the many actuators located on the arm itself, these arms occupy a large space even when unused and their weight has to be taken very seriously into account when designing payloads. To conduct remote inspection missions with micro nano satellites, an experimental device using a flexible beam was developed at the Tokyo Institute of Technology Laboratory for Space Systems (LSS) and called 'Morphable Beam Device' (MBD). A beam is bended as it is deployed enabling us to produce various shapes, the end-probe thus being able to reach distant targets of interest. The need for information feedback about the position and dynamic behavior of the MBD, combined with the vision requirements of such a mission, lead us to develop a Vision and positioning system for this MBD using Structure from Motion technologies. The first research and results regarding this visual and positioning system for a satellite mounted MBD are presented in this paper., 資料番号: AA0063481016},
