Abstract
Hybrid simulators are ground-based experimental platform to simulate micro-gravity environment for the development of space robots. In the study of such kind of simulators, it is important to discuss the consistency of the simulation. In this paper, we simulate collision experiments between a ball and a plate model with a hybrid micro-gravity simulator, and their dynamic consistency is evaluated quantitatively by comparing the rusults with an analytic collision model based on the hertzian contact theory.
