Book excerpt: This book provides readers with basic concepts and design theories for space robots and presents essential methodologies for implementing space robot engineering by introducing several concrete projects as illustrative examples. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of professional theories in the field of space robots, and will find an initial introduction to the engineering processes involved in developing space robots. Rapid advances in technologies such as the Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, and Artificial Intelligence have also produced profound changes in space robots. With the continuous expansion of human exploration of the universe, it is imperative for space robots to be capable of sharing knowledge, working collaboratively, and becoming more and more intelligent so as to optimize the utilization of space resources. For on-orbit robots that perform service tasks such as spacecraft assembly and maintenance, as well as exploration robots that carry out research tasks on planetary surfaces, the rational integration into a network system can greatly improve their capabilities in connection with executing outer space tasks, such as information gathering and utilization, independent decision-making and planning, risk avoidance, and reliability, while also significantly reducing resource consumption for the system as a whole.

Download or read book Space Robotics Dynamics and Control written by Yangsheng Xu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robotic technology offers two potential benefits for future space exploration. One benefit is minimizing the risk that astronauts face. The other benefit is increasing their productivity. Realizing the benefits of robotic technology in space will require solving several problems which are unique and now becoming active research topics. One of the most important research areas is dynamics, control, motion and planning for space robots by considering the dynamic interaction between the robot and the base (space station, space shuttle, or satellite). Any inefficiency in the planning and control can considerably risk by success of the space mission. Space Robotics: Dynamics and Control presents a collection of papers concerning fundamental problems in dynamics and control of space robots, focussing on issues relevant to dynamic base/robot interaction. The authors are all pioneers in theoretical analysis and experimental systems development of space robot technology. The chapters are organized within three problem areas: dynamics problems, nonholonomic nature problems, and control problems. This collection provides a solid reference for researchers in robotics, mechanics, control, and astronautical science.

Book excerpt: (2) Robotic spacecraft In the future, the first space robots will possible be spacecraft and probes and the main goals of these machines was the Moon or Mars surface aiming manned missions to the Earth natural satellite. The capability of these robotic spacecraft included photographing and recording the surface and sending television images to the Earth. The first robotic spacecraft will send to the Moon had not even the capability to land in the surface. They were lunar impact robotic spacecraft. Television images were obtained and send to the Earth when falling down on the Moon. Other robotic space achievements by using probes were directed to Nenus, Mars and Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. However, space robotic spaceship will face these challenges to be solve if space scientists expect future space robotic spaceships can attempt to fly to Moon, even other planets to reach these any one of space planet destinations successfully. The challenges include that it supposes the space journey needs to reach the space region with Voyager 1 and the most distant planets with Voyager 2. The robots are needed to be the appropriate machines to substitute the astronauts in risky activities in the non-predictive dangerous space environment. How to design the artificial intelligent robot will be more important and will be a key issue for the future of space exploration? The orbital robot requires to solve these problems , such as radiation, strong temperature variation, micro-gravity environment and magnetic fields associated to some celestial bodies. Specially, for planetary exploration aspect of the robotic application includes surface exploration where the local gravity, soil characteristics, local pressure and atmosphere must be consideration. So, future space robotic tool development still needs to find solutions to deal these above challenges when it brings to space environment to be used.(3) Space navigation and long distant mobility In the future space stations need have robots to help them to repair when sudden accident occurrences to cause any one of space stations' machines to be damaged. In-space operations involve operations functionalities like in-space assembly, in-space inspection, in-space maintenance, extra-vehicular activities, and in-orbit scientific experiment. For example, planetary exploration robotic applications are remarkably operating on Mar surface. Space scientists predict the next 10 years, it is expected that the space robots for surface exploration be not constrained anymore by, navigation and long distance mobility to access to most locations on a planetary surface will be possible. On the other side, it is expected that ground based planning and visualization tools enable scientists from space ground station to interact with the space robots in the surface of celestial bodies. However, robotic performance at the level of a space suited human scientist is and will continue to be a major challenge. Anyway, the automation by using robots in space operation will bring the advent of space stations and orbital service. One of the most important accomplishment with an extraordinary space robot was the space shuttle series of spacecraft. Space shuttle can be considered future first space robotic shuttle can be provided series of spacecraft service. Thus, future space robotic shuttle can be considered in that if really implemented orbital servicing of grasping satellite for maintenance, and assembly for the international space station and inserting new satellite into low Earth orbit.

Download or read book Robots In Space written by Roger D. Launius and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2008-02-11 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look into the history of space exploration and its possible future, and just where exactly robotics fit into it all. Given the near incomprehensible enormity of the universe, it appears almost inevitable that humankind will one day find a planet that appears to be much like the Earth. This discovery will no doubt reignite the lure of interplanetary travel. Will we be up to the task? And, given our limited resources, biological constraints, and the general hostility of space, what shape should we expect such expeditions to take? In Robots in Space, Roger Launius and Howard McCurdy tackle these questions with rigorous scholarship and disciplined imagination, jumping comfortably among the worlds of rocketry, engineering, public policy, and science fantasy to expound upon the possibilities and improbabilities involved in trekking across the Milky Way and beyond. They survey the literature—fictional as well as academic studies—and outline the progress of space programs in the United States and other nations. They also assess the current state of affairs to offer a conclusion startling only to those who haven’t spent time with Asimov, Heinlein, and Clarke: to traverse the cosmos, humans must embrace and entwine themselves with advanced robotic technologies . . . 2008 Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Magazine Praise for Robots in Space “This short volume manages to capture the history of U.S. space flight, to explain the underpinnings of U.S. space policy and to plot out the possibilities for our future in space in a style that most anyone can enjoy.” —Andrew McMichael, Park City Daily News
