| summary | In this seminar talk, past and recent activities on robotics for space exploration conducted by Dr. Kazuya Yoshida, Aerospace Engineering Professor of Tohoku University, Japan and CTO of ispace technologies inc., are introduced. Professor Yoshida has been working on a variety of robotics research topics with respect to the dynamics and control of space robotic systems. His interests are ranging from orbital free-flying robots to planetary exploration rovers. The applications are extended to the development of university-based micro-satellites and also the terrestrial applications of space technology, such as robotic remote exploration for search and rescue missions. His technical contributions are evidenced by many space flight and robotic missions, such as ETS-VII (orbital experiments of a free- flying space robot), HAYABUSA / HAYABUSA-2 (Japanese asteroid sample return probes), RISING / RISING-2 (50 kg microsatellites for science mission) and QUINCE (a mobile robot to aid in the Fukushima power plant incident.) The talk will highlight his current challenge toward the Google Lunar XPRIZE (team HAKUTO) and background technology on micro-rover development. |
