Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Carleton University
$83,334.00
Autonomous Space Robotics and Mechatronics
FY 2023-24
Summary
A vital element of space exploration and exploitation programs is space robotics, ranging from
space manipulators to planetary rovers, and typically being constrained, mobile and flexible.
Autonomy is particularly essential to future space robotics as they must operate in partially
understood environments while dealing with high speed and complexity of missions and large
communication delays. The goal of this CRC research program is to develop novel intelligent
guidance, navigation and control strategies for space robotic systems to facilitate their long-term,
reliable autonomy through remediating adverse effects of off-nominality in space missions, such as
singularity, flexibility and disturbance.
