Abstract :
The remote manipulator system designated by the acronym MSS, which Canada is contributing to the International Space Station, is briefly described. The underlying structure of MSS is analyzed in terms of a collection of hierarchies. Control language design issues are then analyzed and an object-oriented methodology is proposed with a view to define a run-time structure in relation with task planning requirements
