Space and Terrestrial Service Robotics Recent Technology Developments

摘要

Since several years DASA - Space Infrastructure develops key technology components and basic systems for space robots and future service robot applications. Since space "service robots" and terrestrial "service robots" show strong similarity of basic functional requirements, technologies and components developed are basically usable for both areas. The paper presents an overview of examples of recent developments an application examples. This covers demonstrator systems, control systems, 3D sensor systems, image processing, modular robot arms and prototype applications.
