Autonomous Space Robotics And Mechatronics

空间探索和开发计划的一个重要组成部分是空间机器人，范围从空间机械手到行星漫游车，通常是受限的、机动的和灵活的。自主性对未来的空间机器人特别重要，因为它们必须在部分理解的环境中工作，同时处理任务的高速和复杂性以及大的通信延迟。该研究项目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奇异性、灵活性和扰动等非正规性的不利影响，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.
