Science on the lunar surface facilitated by low latency telerobotics from a Lunar Orbital Platform - Gateway

Combining haptics and inertial motion capture to enhance remote control of a dual-arm robot

“…The reasons to remotely operate robotic systems are mainly safety, when due to dangerous tasks or manipulation of hazardous materials the user and the robot cannot share the same workspace [7][8][9], because of ergonomic issues [10,11] or when getting access to the working scenario is impossible or hard for the human operator [12,13]. Therefore, robot teleoperation can be useful, for instance, in situations where the robot is performing a task autonomously but the operator takes control of it, either to show the robot how to do it properly or to perform it manually [14].…”

“…Therefore, robot teleoperation can be useful, for instance, in situations where the robot is performing a task autonomously but the operator takes control of it, either to show the robot how to do it properly or to perform it manually [14]. Indeed, teleoperation has extensively been used in several applications such as: remote surgery [10], spacecraft manipulation and landing [12]; remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), specially drones [3,9,15] and underwater vehicles [13]; and remote control of industrial machinery, particularly in hazardous environments [7,8], among others.…”

Review and prospects of orbit-to-surface teleoperation

“…星球表面操作, 大大降低了航天任务的风险和成本: 避免了星球表面的尘土等物质进入舱外航天服甚至航 天员居住舱而引起物理甚至生物污染的风险; 避免了 非必须的航天员着陆星球表面、暴露于星球表面恶劣 环境、发射和返回星球轨道的风险和巨额成本, 大大 减少资源损耗; 解决了穿着厚重舱外航天服进行操作 的低效问题, 大大提高了作业效率 [7] . 项目分为4个实施阶段: 任务前规划、勘探作业现场、 部署射电望远镜和检查部署状况 [9] . .…”

Routing in the Space Internet: A contact graph routing tutorial

“…Nano-satellites based on Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components have been tested in interplanetary distances [7] and have proven valuable in missions to Mars [8], and others are scheduled for launch to the Moon [9]. Indeed, the new space trend is lowering the cost of access to deep- space, thus fostering the progress of larger scale missions such as the Lunar gateway, from which several networked assets will need to be managed [10].…”
