| Research Abstract |
The authors have studied a micro-robot with a new mobility system to move and hop under such micro gravity environment as International Space Station or surface of small body, comets or asteroids. The authors have developed an novel algorithm to move under micro gravity autonomously and safely. The authors also have studied a selfpositioning method to identify the position and attitude of a robot on the surface of small body. The obtained results are as follows.
1. Mobility Mechanism : a new mobility on hopping was proposed and the effectiveness was confirmed by simulations.
2. Position Identification : a new positioning method was developed by the sun sensors.
3. Motion Estimation : a method to estimate motion of a robot during hopping was devebped and the effectiveness was confirmed by simulations.
4. Motion Planning : a path planning scheme was proposed and simulated
5. Micro Gravity Experiments : hopping experiments were performed and the experimental robot with proposed mobility succeeded. In hopping under micro -gravity.
6. Application to Exploration Rover : exploration rover with proposed mechanism was designed and the prototype was devebped.
