Workshop on Research Topics in Space Macrosystems: Autonomous Construction and Manufacturing for Space Electrical Power Systems to be held on April 5-7, 2000 in Washington, DC

0075691 BekeyThis研讨会将试图确定与空间和/或月球上的大型建筑和制造系统相关的基础和应用研究问题。 在组装太阳能卫星系统（可能需要使用数百个自主、自由飞行的机器人）和在月球上制造光电系统时，将出现这种问题。 拟议的讲习班将集中讨论系统问题，包括控制、情报、合作和自我复制。 讲习班得到了美国航天局总部的部分支助。

0075691BekeyThis workshop will attempt to identify fundamental and applied research issues associated with very large construction and manufacturing systems in space and/or on the moon. Such issues will arise in connection with the assembly of solar power satellite systems (which may require the use of hundreds of autonomous, free-flying robots) and with the manufacture of photo-voltaic systems on the moon. The proposed workshop will concentrate on the system issues, including control, intelligence, cooperation, and self-replication. Partial support for the workshop has been obtained from NASA Headquarters.***
