Robots for supporting human expansion in space – Maximo A. Roa
4 March @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm UTC
Abstract
Robotics plays a key role in space exploration, and will still be a key tool for expanding human frontiers in the solar system. Robotics is applicable in the orbital domain, for satellite maintenance, assembly of large structures in orbit, or in-station servicing. For planetary exploration, robots offer multiple options for telepresence of humans in remote environments. This talk will present latest results of DLR in these domains, summarizing the developments while keeping an eye on the next challenges in space robotics.
