Humanity or Robotics in Space?

Space Robotics

This report surveys the possible applications and technical feasibility of robots in space. The hture of the space program in the time frame of 1980-2000 is first assessed, including space exploration, globzl infomiation services, and space utilization. Critical technologies needed to wpport die projected space program are considered, including general purpose, remote intelligence and manipulat...

Space robotics

This paper reviews the topic of space robotics. As an introduction, some definitions and the rationale for space robotics are given. The main differences between space and terrestrial robots are highlighted, and it is shown that they are driven by the peculiar environmental, system, and programmatic constraints of space missions. Some common objections against the use of space robotics are ment...

‎Spacelike hypersurfaces with constant $S$ or $K$ in de Sitter‎ ‎space or anti-de Sitter space

‎Let $M^n$ be an $n(ngeq 3)$-dimensional complete connected and‎ ‎oriented spacelike hypersurface in a de Sitter space or an anti-de‎ ‎Sitter space‎, ‎$S$ and $K$ be the squared norm of the second‎ ‎fundamental form and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of $M^n$‎. ‎If $S$ or‎ ‎$K$ is constant‎, ‎nonzero and $M^n$ has two distinct principal‎ ‎curvatures one of which is simple‎, ‎we obtain some‎ ‎charact...

NASDA's activities in space robotics

Space robots are indispensable tools the reaction wheels were run-downed and for future space missions such a s building1 switched off. This mission gave us a lot of insight operation of the international space station, about the rendezvous docking and space robot realization of on-orbit satellite servicing operations. (inspection, logistic support, repair, rescue from stranded orbit etc.), and...
