This event is organized by the Surrey Technology for Autonomous systems and Robotics (STAR) Lab within the Surrey Space Centre at the University of Surrey, which is dedicated to the robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) for space as part of the UK Robotics Week 2017.
The exhibitions are contributed by leading space industrial and academic organizations in the UK (e.g. AirbusDS, RAL Space, Neptec, and Surrey, etc.), hence will feature the state-of-the-art space robotics such as the first European Space Agency/ESA’s Mars rover currently under development led by the UK industry and the ongoing robotics project at the International Space Station (ISS) carried out by Tim Peake. Furthermore, the event will showcase advanced RAS technologies that are designed to realize long term, future space missions such as space debris removal and planetary explorations using biologically-inspired mobile robots, manipulators, drills and even humanoid robots like NASA’s Valkyrie.
The public lectures will be given by leading scientists and technologists who work in the frontline of developing and operating space robotic systems, hence provide insight views and first hand information on space robotics: the present and the future. For more information please click here.
