Workshop on Exploring the Lunar Frontier Leveraging Robotic Missions
Organizers
-
Kazuya Yoshida (Professor, Tohoku University, Japan)
-
Genya Ishigami (Associate Professor, Keio University, Japan)
-
Amir Rahmani (Group Supervisor, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, U.S.A.)

Overview
The allure of lunar exploration has captured global attention once again. As discussions about the possibility of humans returning to the Moon intensify, the indispensable role of robotics in this endeavor becomes increasingly apparent. Robots are poised to play a pivotal role in exploring uncharted territories of the lunar surface, uncovering and leveraging local resources, and facilitating the construction of future human habitats.
This workshop will explore various robotic mission scenarios pertinent to lunar exploration. Participants will exchange perspectives and insights on the challenges and opportunities of deploying robots for lunar missions. Moreover, we will discuss crucial issues surrounding robot benchmarking, aiming to foster collaborative efforts within the space robotics research community.

Workshop on Advances in Orbital Robotics: In Orbit Manipulation, Servicing, and Assembly
Organizers
-
Maximo A. Roa (German Aerospace Center – DLR)
-
Carol Martinez Luna (University of Luxembourg)
Overview
Robotic manipulation is enabling new frontiers for servicing and assembly directly in space. On the one hand, commercial perspectives are increasingly interesting for providing services in space for repairing, upgrading or extending the life of space assets. On the other hand, robotic manipulation technology will enable the construction of large scale structures (space telescopes, commercial platforms, transportation hubs) directly in orbit, at significantly reduced cost.
This workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners to identify the frontiers of robotic manipulation in space. The workshop will feature invited talks by prominent speakers and poster/video presentations from the community, with emphasis on ongoing developments for assembly and servicing demonstrations.
