How do you grab and hold something in space without accidentally knocking it across
galaxy ? The first design for the Canadarm gripped objects, much like the hand. But engineers quickly realized there was a fundamental problem. The smallest accidentally nudges could send any cargo hurting off. Because there is no air resistance in space, once something starts moving, it can not be stopped.
Grip the satellite in space is like gripping the balloon by manipulating the robot arm.
Certainly you could push your target away from you.
Aperture
A keen photographer, his inspiration was the camera iris. This is about using Analogy to solve the problem, called Analogical Problem Solving, can be used to solve a problem by transferring a solution from a well-known domain to an unknown domain.
Like the camera iris, it rotates, but instead of interlocking plates .
The initial volume that it can grab is very large. So just make sure your target is somewhere in there, you don't have a lot of alignment.
