Abstract

This paper provides an overview of representative patents related to space docking mechanisms in terms of structural and functional optimization. The working principle and characteristics are explained. By comparing different types of space docking mechanisms, we summarized the main problems of the current space docking mechanism and proposed some improvements. They include electromagnetic docking, modularization and standardization, together with the use of advanced design optimization algorithms and intelligent drive technology.
