Autonomous Self-assembly in a Swarm-bot
Multi-robot systems have been studied in tasks that require the robots to be physically linked. In such a configuration, a group of robots may navigate a terrain that proves too difficult for a single robot. On the contrary, many collective tasks can be accomplished more efficiently by a group of independent robots. This paper is about swarm-bot, a robotic system that can operate in both config...
متن کاملA Modular Small Satellite Bus for Low Earth Orbit Missions
The paper describes how the design philosophy used on the UoSAT spacecraft has been advanced to produce a bus providing basic power conditioning, telecommand, telemetry and attitude control functions. This basic bus is sufficient to support a variety of payloads, but the architecture is such that bus may be expanded (for example in number of telecommands) to support more demanding payloads. The...
متن کاملSelf-assembly in Heterogeneous Modular Robots
This paper describes the distributed self-assembly of a multi-robot ‘organism’ from a swarm of autonomous heterogeneous modular mobile robots. A distributed self-assembly strategy based on a symbol sequence representation is proposed. Constructed from a tree representation of an organism, the symbol sequence is presented as a well organised nested structure in a compact format. It includes not ...
متن کاملOn-Orbit Assembly of Flexible Space Structures with SWARM
On-orbit assembly is an enabling technology for many space applications. However, current methods of human assisted assembly are high in cost and risk to the crew, motivating a desire to automate the on-orbit assembly process using robotic technology. Construction of large space structures will likely involve the manipulation of flexible elements such as trusses or solar panels, and automation ...
متن کاملVisual Inspection System for Autonomous Robotic On-Orbit Satellite Servicing
Nowadays, within the space robotics, there is a substantial interest in achieving on-orbit satellite servicing operations autonomously. On-orbit servicing (OOS) requires ability to rendezvous and dock by an unmanned spacecraft minimizing human intervention. This paper is presented like a step in this course. In RoboticsLab, we have developed the RISANAR testbed to simulate scenarios of autonomo...
