Do you know? According to the latest report from 2020 to 2027, the global space robotics market is likely to surge at a growth rate of 5.2%. This is due to the growing demand for autonomous space robots that are not only cost-effective but are also capable of working even in any kind of conditions. As exploring outer space has always been an interesting area, many researchers across the globe are working on robots in space and their benefits. Let's explore the latest robots in space in this article.
Vyommitra is a humanoid robot made in India. This robot is designed for an ambitious project of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the Gaganyaan mission. This first human spaceflight program is scheduled for 2022. This is one of the latest robots which can perform all crew procedures like environmental and life support systems monitoring.
This is going to be one of the robots in space that can mimic certain astronaut postures, which are essential during the launch. ISRO researchers are also working to make Vyommitra able to chat with fellow astronauts.
Deep Autonomy of Lunar Underground Structures (DAEDALUS) is designed and created by the European Space Agency which looks like a hamster ball that is equipped with a stereoscopic camera, a radiation dosimeter, temperature sensors, and 3D mapping LiDAR device.
Kibo is one of the latest robots which was developed by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and launched the second Kibo Robot Programming Challenge (KRPC) in March. The goal of this challenge is to allow scientists on the ground to capture images and video remotely using a robot that can travel around in space autonomously and capture still and moving imagery.
Rosalind is developed by the Roscosmos agency in Russia in collaboration with the European Space Agency. This is one of the latest robots designed to navigate across Mars autonomously. This rover mission is scheduled for 2022 having two pairs of cameras (NavCam and LoCam) helping the rover prepare a 3D map of Mars terrain. The rover is also equipped with PanCam Optical Bench with two wide-angle cameras for good color resolution imaging.
Perseverance rover has been landed on Mars in July 2020 which has a sensitive microphone to record the sound of its movement over the hard martian surface. This rover has recorded the first bump of the robot with six wheels that beamed back to earth.
Perseverance Rover provides an easy way to conduct research with the help of a stereoscopic imaging system, a Raman spectrometer for mineralogy, microphones for sound recording and to process real-time data.
Chang'e 5 is a robotic spacecraft that was launched by China. It is the first of its kind robots for asteroid mining in 2020. This robot has also collected rocks from the Moon's surface. China is the third country after the US and Soviet Union to collect rocks from the moon.
