Outline of Final Research Achievements

Small body exploration robots require some functions under the severe environment such as small gravity, vacuum space, higher and lower temperature, unknown environment. Exploration robots have some subjects such as mobility with landing, autonomous functions, and thermal control. So a new robot system with a new hopping mechanism and attitude control is newly proposed to open or close the surface of the robot body. A new mobility system with elastic mechanism is also proposed to realize hopping and landing functions. The effectiveness of the proposed robots is confirmed by some computer simulations. And also the drop tower tests were conducted by using the developed experimental robots. The valid of the proposed schemes were verified. Finally the proposed robots would contribute to the near future exploration missions.
