  • Abstract
    This paper presents a study on the docking of a mobile platform to a docking port where six degrees of freedom misalignments may occur in the general case. This study is motivated by a requirement of ITER, where mobile platforms are required for cask transference between the Vacuum Vessel and the Hot Cell Building
