Crew time is a valuable resource on the International Space Station and its value only increases for future space missions. One way to make the most of crew
time is using robotic technology either to assist crew members with various tasks and or to completely automate others., is part of ongoing efforts to develop this technology. The free floating remote-controlled panoramic camera launched to the space station in 2018 and this investigation from JAXA demonstrates using the camera to autonomously capture video and photos of research activities.
Designing robots to traverse the surface of the Moon or Mars presents specific challenges. The landscape may be rough and uneven, requiring a robot to make time-consuming detours, and thick regolith or dust can bog down a robot and burn up a lot of fuel. One possible solution is for robots to hop over such landscapes. Theinvestigation uses the Astrobees to demonstrate propulsion via a hopping or self-toss maneuver using arm-like manipulators.
