Current space exploration roadmaps envision exploring the surface geology of celestial bodies with robots for both scientific research and in situ resource utilization. In such unstructured, poorly lit, complex, remote environments, automation is not always possible, some tasks, as geological sampling, require direct teleoperation aided by force-feedback (FF). The operator would be on an orbiting spacecraft, poor bandwidth, high latency, packet loss from orbit to ground mean that safe,...
For the purpose of ergonomic human-machine interaction and geometrical design hand held haptic devices, a kinematic model that represents functional anatomy different human hands is desired. It goal this paper to present based on physiology easily adaptable represent various real sizes. This achieved by exploiting body proportions derive finger segment lengths from length. A partial validation, involving index- middle validation using group subjects, indicates use offers good estimate length...
On June 5 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">th</sup> at 21:10 CEST, the European Space Agency's Telerobotics and Haptics Laboratory conducted first in history haptic handshake between space Earth. This demonstration was part of Haptics-2 experiment, which makes use two joysticks; one located on-board International Station (ISS), other on ground ESA's laboratory Netherlands. Both systems can be connected through TDRSS geosynchronous...
Abstract The European Space Agency’s ANALOG-1 experiment is the culmination of 12 distinct METERON experiments carried out since 2011. These all address aspects teleoperating a robotic asset from an orbital platform, i.e., technical implementation, user interfaces, autonomy and operations. technology demonstration operations concept based upon surface mission scenario segment notional EL3 sample return mission. This focuses on control lunar Earth Lunar Gateway. taking place in two parts,...
The water distribution network of Netherlands contains around 30,000 km asbestos cement (AC) pipes, which constitutes 25% the total network. As a pipe material, AC has relatively poor performance, and therefore is high priority for renewal. To help decide an effective order replacement, utilities need condition assessment techniques that them determine pipes have highest risk failure. In presented work, X-ray computed tomography (CT) was used to measure degradation taken out field. These...
