Abstract
Describes the technological developments which are establishing the fo undation for an exciting era of in situ exploration missions to planet s, comets and asteroids with advanced robotic systems. Also outlines i mportant concurrent terrestrial applications and spin offs of the spac e robotics technology. These include high-precision robotic manipulato rs for microsurgical operations and dexterous arm control systems.
