Based on lifting point adjustment by utilizing XYworkbench, the leveling and equalizing controller by a selfadaptive control algorithm is proposed. By simulation analysis and lifting test using engineering prototype, validity and reliability of the hoist device is verified, which can meet the precision mating requirements of practical applications for spacecraft.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 69, 2012</index> </article>
