Effect of Assembly Design on a Walking Multi-Arm Robotics for In-Space Assembly
Katherine McBryan,Katherine McBryan
Robotic In-space assembly (ISA) is the next step to building larger and more permanent structures in orbit. Robotic ISA offers a unique opportunity for engineers to design the robotic system and the structure at the same time. ISA structures can be optimized to minimize weight or the number of pieces but these decisions have large impacts on the complexity of the robotic system. This impact goes b...
