Episode Two - Space Robotics: out of this world

Robot Talk · 30 Oct 2020 · 33m · Episode 2

What this episode covers

Xander Hall of Airbus Defence and Space explains the engineering challenges of in-orbit assembly and the RemoveDEBRIS mission, which tested harpoons, nets, and drag sails to capture space junk. Dr. Arthur Bouton from the University of Surrey discusses the Marcel lunar rover, a wheel-legged hybrid designed to navigate steep obstacles and loose soil more effectively than passive rovers. Stephanie Pau of the Hamlyn Centre at Imperial College London explores wearable technology in spacesuits, focusing on integrating sensors for brain-computer interaction and improving wearability for astronauts.

    25. Solar Sailing, Preventing Cyber Attacks, Space Trash Robot

    Hosts Daniel and Forbode discuss three engineering topics: NASA's development of a packable carbon composite boom for deployable solar sails, Columbia University researchers' creation of a zero-overhead memory attack prevention system called 'Zero', and Embry-Riddle University students' design of a solar-sail-powered robot to clean up space debris. The conversation covers the materials science behind the booms, the technical mechanism of the security tool, and the operational logic of the space trash collector.

    Ep059: Hydraulic Rockets & Presses, Machine Vision Bounces & Stares, Smart Speakers Listen to You

    Hackaday editors Mike Szczys and Elliot Williams discuss several hardware hacks, including Joe Barnard’s silo-launched thrust-vectoring model rocket, which required solving pneumatic timing and sensor failures, and Graham Jessup’s 3D-printed robotic face with machine vision tracking. They also cover Daniel Riley’s solar-powered rover, which overcame steering and traction issues through iterative frame modifications, and a robotic ball bouncer using a parallel manipulator and OpenCV. The episode concludes with an analysis of smart speaker false activations and a discussion of Northrop Grumman’s Mission Extension Vehicle, a space tow truck designed to extend satellite life in geosynchronous orbit.
