Abstract

See full text

Two objects can be connected, e.g., in space, by maneuvering a gripper proximate a target which may be in space, commanding the snap-band controller to move the snap-band into its open position, maneuvering the gripper to a further position closer to the target to where the controllable snap-band, when closed, at least partially encircles the target, and commanding the snap-band controller to move the controllable snap-band into its closed position to at least partially encircle and capture the target. The gripper comprises a controllable snap-band comprising a selectable open position and closed position which is disposed about an external surface of a housing.
