Robot-Assisted Deployment and Maintenance of Inflatable Modules for Lunar Habitation: A Field Demonstration
Kentaro Uno, Shamistan Karimov, Ashutosh Mishra +5
Long-term human habitation and in-situ development on the Moon open a new era of space utilization. In this context, robots are a key technology for facilitating the construction o…
MoonBot: Modular and On-Demand Reconfigurable Robot Toward Moon Base Construction
Kentaro Uno, Elian Neppel, Gustavo H. Diaz +8
The allure of lunar surface exploration and development has recently captured widespread global attention. Robots have proved to be indispensable for exploring uncharted terrains,…
Designing for Distributed Heterogeneous Modularity: On Software Architecture and Deployment of MoonBots
Elian Neppel, Shamistan Karimov, Ashutosh Mishra +5
This paper presents the software architecture and deployment strategy behind the MoonBot platform: a modular space robotic system composed of heterogeneous components distributed a…
An Agnostic End-Effector Alignment Controller for Robust Assembly of Modular Space Robots
Shamistan Karimov, Elian Neppel, Shreya Santra +2
Modular robots offer reconfigurability and fault tolerance essential for lunar missions, but require controllers that adapt safely to real-world disturbances. We build on our previ…
Multi-Modal Decentralized Reinforcement Learning for Modular Reconfigurable Lunar Robots
Ashutosh Mishra, Shreya Santra, Elian Neppel +4
Modular reconfigurable robots suit task-specific space operations, but the combinatorial growth of morphologies hinders unified control. We propose a decentralized reinforcement le…
Robust and Modular Multi-Limb Synchronization in Motion Stack for Space Robots with Trajectory Clamping via Hypersphere
Elian Neppel, Ashutosh Mishra, Shamistan Karimov +3
Modular robotics holds immense potential for space exploration, where reliability, repairability, and reusability are critical for cost-effective missions. Coordination between het…
