“…After the penetrator accelerates to a speed of 30 m/s, it crashes after securing the correct strike location (Surkov & Kremnev, 1998;Surkov, 1990). The penetrator also carries camera systems, gamma-ray spectrometers, and seismographs, which will be used for certain missions to Mars (Harvey, 2007;Ulivi & Harland, 2007;Surkov & Kremnev, 1998).…”

A planetary penetrator is a kind of machine that can use its special structure to independently penetrate an exoplanet and sample it for storage. It is a hot research topic in the world and has important development potential in the field of deep space exploration. Based on the analysis of relevant literature, this paper classifies and compares various representative planetary penetrator projectiles around the current research status. The development progress and key technologies of the planetary penetrator are analyzed, the current technical challenges are summarized, and the development trend of the planetary penetrator has prospected. The planetary probe has a broad application prospect, and its development will provide technical support for humans to establish extraterrestrial habitat, and play an important role in the field of deep space exploration. Currently, planetary penetrator research is still in its infancy, and the field is full of possibilities that need to be explored and improved.

“…A wheeled robot has many advantages in terms of energy efficiency, easy control of movement and high stability during motion. However, there are some limitations for wheeled robot functionality, such as moving on an uneven surface, overcoming large obstacles and climbing [1, 2]. To overcome the limitations of such rover space robot designs, research has been conducted to develop legged robots for planetary exploration.…”

Humanoid robots are expected to play a major role in the future of space and planetary exploration. Humanoid robot features could have many advantages, such as interacting with astronauts and the ability to perform human tasks. However, the challenge of developing such a robot is quite high due to many difficulties. One of the main difficulties is the difference in gravity. Most researchers in the field of bipedal locomotion have not paid much attention to the effect of gravity. Gravity is an important parameter in generating a bipedal locomotion trajectory. This research investigates the effect of gravity on bipedal walking motion. It focuses on low gravity, since most of the known planets and moons have lower gravity than earth. Further study is conducted on a full humanoid robot model walking subject to the moon's gravity, and an approach for dealing with moon gravity is proposed in this paper.

Humanoid robots are becoming an important factor for the future work. Future planes are made for the use of humanoid robots for space and planetary exploration application. The development of humanoid robot to work in such environment for the purpose of human assisting is becoming highly demanded. The challenge of developing a bipedal robot to walking on other planets and moons is really high due the different in gravity compare to earth. The difference in the gravity might have a great effect on the robot locomotion. In order to know this effect some basic study needed to be conducted. This research studies the effect of different gravity on the locomotion. The approach for dealing for the different gravity is purposed in this study.Index Terms-Humanoid robot, bipedal locomotion, Froude number.
