Abstract: Tostudytheimpactofthearmandjointflexibilityon theterminalcalibrationprecisionwhenthespacemulti-degreesoffreedommanipulatordidspatialmotioninalargerange,consideringthesecondarycouplingtermofaxialstretchingcausedbytheflexiblearmhorizontal/lateralbendingdeformation,aD-Hmethodwasproposedbasedonflexiblearmbyusingarotortorsion-springmodelincludinglumpedmasstodescribetheflexibleeffectofjoints.Theflexiblemechanismmovementequationofspacemanipulatorwasproposed.Thefirstapproximationrigid-flexiblecouplingdynamicsequationsofspacedoubleflexiblemanipulatorwasestablishedbyusingtheHamiltonprinciple.Thesimulationoftheterminalcalibrationerrorofthespacesixjointsdoubleflexiblemanipulatorwascarriedout.Theresultsshowthat:armandjointflexibilityarecoupledwhenthespacemanipulatorisinalargerangemovement.Toimprovethesuccessofthecaptureandoperation,thefetchingtargetsshouldbesetinthedirectionwithasmallercalibrationerrorofmanipulatorsinengineeringapplications.
