Artificial Curiosity for Autonomous Space Exploration

Curiosity is an essential driving force for science as well as technology, and has led mankind to explore its surroundings, all the way to our current understanding of the universe. Space science and exploration is at the pinnacle of each of these developments, in that it requires the most advanced technology, explores our world and outer space, and constantly pushes the frontier of scientific ...

Responsible Space Exploration and Use: Balancing Stakeholder Interests

Despite the worldwide economic downturn, many space-faring nations are planning space missions and architectures to explore the Moon, near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), and Mars in the coming decades. Most of these plans are focused on robotic exploration, but some also include human endeavors extending beyond the International Space Station and low Earth orbit. Looking ahead, the space exploration a...

Bridging the Gap between Space Robotics Research and Robotics Education

The focus of Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Office of Communication and Education is to engage the public through the implementation of innovative approaches such as informal and formal education methods, science outreach, and research development efforts [1]. One of the direct outcomes of this emphasis is to create a bridge to provide students access to the research and development activities inv...

Dual Space Control of a Deployable Cable Driven Robot: Wave Based Approach

Known for their lower costs and numerous applications, cable robots are an attractive research field in robotic community. However, considering the fact that they require an accurate installation procedure and calibration routine, they have not yet found their true place in real-world applications. This paper aims to propose a new controller strategy that requires no meticulous calibration and ...
