Autonomous Space Robotics and Mechatronics

太空探索和开发计划的一个重要组成部分是太空机器人，从太空机械手到行星漫游者，通常是受约束的，移动的和灵活的。* 自主性对于未来的太空机器人技术尤其重要，因为它们必须在部分 * 了解的环境中运行，同时应对任务的高速和复杂性以及大 * 通信延迟。该研究计划的目标是为空间机器人系统开发新的智能制导、导航和控制策略，通过补救空间任务中的非标称性（如奇异性、灵活性和干扰）的不利影响，促进其长期、可靠的自主性。

A vital element of space exploration and exploitation programs is space robotics, ranging from *space manipulators to planetary rovers, and typically being constrained, mobile and flexible. *Autonomy is particularly essential to future space robotics as they must operate in partially *understood environments while dealing with high speed and complexity of missions and large *communication delays. The goal of this CRC research program is to develop novel intelligent *guidance, navigation and control strategies for space robotic systems to facilitate their long-term, *reliable autonomy through remediating adverse effects of off-nominality in space missions, such as *singularity, flexibility and disturbance.
