The Testbed has been developed in order to support the EUROBOT project. Its purpose is to demonstrate some of the operational capabilities of EUROBOT and to showcase some of the technology developed by the Automation and Robotics Section for EUROBOT Uses The testbed functions as:
Demonstrator of the operational capabilities of EUROBOT;
Autonomous locomotion on ISS modules: the robot system is capable to walk on sections of real-scale modules of the ISS using handrails
Dexterous manipulation of ISS hardware: an operator, equipped with some human-machine interface, can command the robot to perform highly dexterous handling of objects
Development environment for some of the technologies used
in EUROBOT such as:
The ESA Exoskeleton
The CONTEXT robot controller
The Vision Based Robot control
Telemanipulation with the use of the ESA Exoskeleton
A general demostrator for Robot operational modes
The testbed can demonstrate the 2 general operational modes developed by ESA for servicing robots:
