Asteroid sample and return spacecraft MUSES-C has some newly-developed light weight optical sensors, in order to approach, rendezvous with, and land on the asteroid 1989ML. ONC-T is a multi-spectrum optical band camera with 8 filters, 5.7° × 5.7° ...
In recent years, many researchers have studied and developed lunar or planetary rovers for unmanned surface exploration. By the way, mission scope of a lander, which does not have mobility, is just a point. If we can have a rover, this mission are...
The Abstracts of the international conference on advanced mechatronics : toward evolutionary fusion of IT and mechatronics : ICAM 2015年 一般社団法人 日本機械学会
We have been developing a lunar subsurface excavation robot using peristaltic crawling based on an earthworm's locomotion. In existing robots, the excavated soil must be manually removed by humans. To overcome this limitation, we have been de...
3C11 Touchdown dynamics simulation of a novel pulley suspension mechanism for a movable lander(The 12th International Conference on Motion and Vibration Control)
Lunar or planetary exploration is scientifically meaningful because they can give us the hint to throw a light on the origin and evolution of the solar system or the earth, the inner structure of planets, etc. In lunar or planetary exploration mis...
1P2-L04 Navigation Results of a Rover Test-bed in a Terrestrial Analogue(Space Robotics)
The performance of an integrated navigation system is studied through the field experiments on a four-wheeled test-bed rover, AKI, operated in a terrestrial analogue. The AKI rover employs novel mobility and navigation systems which enable challen...
JAXA is planning to launch Hayabusa 2 in December 2014. Hayabusa 2 will be equipped with an asteroid exploration rover which is developed by the consortium of universities. A goal of the rover is establishment of the technology for locomotion on a...
Asteroid probe Hayabusa 2 is developed by JAXA. Asteroid exploration rovers will be carried by Hayabusa 2. In our research project, we have developed an environmental-temperature-driven buckling actuator with a bimetal thin plate for a hopping mec...
