About
Shingo Tsurumi is a leading figure in space robotics, whose work has advanced the technologies needed to service and capture satellites in orbit. His primary research areas center on satellite-mounted manipulator systems, coordinated control strategies, and ground-based simulation for orbital debris mitigation. Tsurumi’s most influential contribution is the development of a ground experiment system for dual-manipulator-based capture of damaged satellites, a seminal paper with 22 citations that has become a foundational reference for engineers designing autonomous robotic servicing missions. In this work, he demonstrated a full-scale simulator integrating two 7-degree-of-freedom manipulators with floating testbeds, proving that complex capture maneuvers could be validated on Earth before deployment in space. His earlier study on coordinated control of a satellite-mounted manipulator, accounting for payload flexibility (8 citations), further established his expertise in managing the dynamic coupling between a robotic arm and its flexible spacecraft base. Through these achievements, Tsurumi has directly influenced the design of next-generation on-orbit servicing platforms, providing both the theoretical framework and practical validation methods that enable safer, more reliable satellite capture and repair.
