An Introduction to Space Robotics, Hardback Book

An Introduction to Space Robotics Hardback

Part of the Springer Praxis Books series

Hardback

Description

There is little doubt that robotic and automated systems in space will contribute considerably to the future commercialisation of the space environment.

This text provides a systems eye view of robotic spacecraft design with an emphasis on control systems. The first half of the book introduces the techniques of robotics and robotic control, and is the most mathematical part of the book.

The second half of the book deals with spacecraft systems themselves, and how a robotic-type payload influences them, including consideration of financial and legal issues which are often left out of technical texts. Running through the book is the implementation of a freeflying robotic spacecraft called ATLAS (Advanced TeLerobotic Actuation System).

However, the techniques presented in the book are completely general and the ATLAS spacecraft just serves as an example, albeit a very useful and economically viable space system.
