Space is a unique environment where power, communications,  atmospheric, gravitational, and sensing conditions impose harsh  constraints on the ability of both man and machines to function  productively. \u003cbr\u003e  In this environment, intelligent automation and robotics are essential  complements to the capabilities of humans. In the development of the  United States Space Program, robotic manipulation systems have  increased in importance as the complexity of space missions has grown.  Future missions will require the construction, maintenance, and repair  of large structures, such as the space station. This volume presents  the effords of several groups that are working on robotic solutions to  this problem. \u003cbr\u003e  Much of the work in this book is related to assembly in space, and  especially in-orbit assembly of large truss structures. Many of these  so-called truss structures will be assembled in orbit. It is expected  that robot manipulators will be used exclusively, or at least provide  partial assistance to humans. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eIntelligent Robotic Systems for Space Exploration\u003c\/em\u003e provides  detailed algorithms and analysis for assembly of truss structure in  space. It reports on actual implementations to date done at NASA's  Langley Research Center. The Johnson Space Center, and the Jet  Propulsion Laboratory. Other implementations and research done at  Rensselaer are also reported. Analysis of robot control problems that  are unique to a zero-gravity environment are presented. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-02-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792391975\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3634-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 345.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578419110028,"sku":"9780792391975","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792391975.jpg?v=1767146655","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792391975","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
