Assembling Solar Panels by Dual Robot Arms Towards Full Autonomous Lunar Base Construction
Luca Nunziante, Kentaro Uno, Gustavo H. Diaz +3
Since the successful Apollo program, humanity is once again aiming to return to the Moon for scientific discovery, resource mining, and inhabitation. Upcoming decades focus on buil…
Design and Development of Modular Limbs for Reconfigurable Robots on the Moon
Gustavo H. Diaz, A. Sejal Jain, Matteo Brugnera +4
In this paper, we present the development of 4-DOF robot limbs, which we call Moonbots, designed to connect in various configurations with each other and wheel modules, enabling ad…
