Comparison between Stationary and Crawling Multi-Arm Robotics for In-Space Assembly
Katherine McBryan,Katherine McBryan
In-space assembly (ISA) is the next step to building larger and more permanent structures in orbit. The use of a robotic in-space assembler saves on costly and potentially risky EVAs. Determining the best robot for ISA is difficult as it will depend on the structure being assembled. A comparison between two categories of robots is presented: a stationary robot and robot which crawls along the trus...
