Using air bearings to simulate a micro-gravity environment on the ground for a space manipulator

the bearing capacity is calculated by the Navier-Stokes equation.The anti-gravity devices with g=0 m/s2 and g=9.8 m/s2 were established in Adams by parallel control method. The simulation results show that the maximum error is less than 3.8%. The results show that the method can simulate the ground micro-gravity environment.
