Space Robotics

Ambler - We are developing the Ambler, a six-legged walking robot that addresses the challenges of exploring rugged terrains, acquiring samples, and avoiding dangerous situations.	Atacama Desert Trek - Robotic traversal of the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile
Autonomous Extra-vehicular Robotic Camera - Aercam is a flying soccer-ball sized spacecraft with a camera allowing remote inspection of the future space station and the Space Shuttle.	Dante I
Dante II - Planetary Exploration	Dual-use Mobile Detachable Manipulator - The Dual-use Mobile Detachable Manipulator, or (DM)2, is a robot designed for performing dual functions in a lunar-base construction scenario.
HSTS Space Observatory Scheduler - HSTS has been developed and applied principally in the context of space-based observatory scheduling problems.	Lunar Rover Initiative - first interactive space exploration event
Lunar Rover Navigation - Carnegie Mellon researchers are creating the prototype for a new lunar rover that can navigate rugged terrain autonomously and under supervisory control over thousands of kilometers of terrain. As part of this Lunar Rover Initiative, the LRD Navigation Group is developing the navigation system of the rover.	Position Estimation - We estimate the position of a robot based on the position of natural landmarks in images.
Robotic All Terrain Lunar Exploration Rover - Ratler is a battery-powered, four-wheeled, skid-steered vehicle used as a testbed to develop the remote driving techniques needed for a lunar mission.	Self-Mobile Space Manipulator - A simple, independently mobile, modular, low mass, low cost robot for space station EVA.
Skyworker - Skyworker is an assembly, inspection, and maintenance robot that will softly and autonomously transport and manipulate payloads of kilograms to tons over kilometer distances.	Solar Blade Solar Sail - CMU is embarking on an effort to fly the first solar sail, a spacecraft that utilizes solar radiation pressure as its only means of propulsion and attitude control.
Tessellator - Space Shuttle Tile Inspector	Wide Area Prospecting Using Supervised Autonomous Robots - We are developing teams of telesupervised autonomous prospecting robots for the planned NASA Lunar and Martian colonies.
