Résumé
As robotic space exploration targets more and more extreme terrains on the Moon, Mars, and asteroids, an accurate understanding of how robots can interact with these terrains improves chances of success. Advanced rovers able to drive on steeper sandy slopes, for example, open exploration to a significant number of new craters and mountains. Discovering novel ways to use the materials found in surrounding terrains, such as robotically 3D printing structures out of Martian or Lunar soil, amplifies what is possible to achieve with small lightweight space robots. These areas of research will help maintain Canadas global leadership in space robotics.
