Abstract
In this study, we proposed a new mobility device using tether under the microgravity named Tether Space mobility Device (TSMD). TSMD is the mobility device that moves user by winding tether which is attached to the structure in the destination. We focused on winding of tether and proposed the posture control method of TSMD which combined with the winding control and the arm control, the experiment in the two-dimensional microgravity environment is performed. As a result of the experiment, it is confirmed that the proposed control methods decrease rotational motion, and it is found that they makes it possible to control posture of the system.
