On May 27, the Space Aerospace Research and Development Organization (JAXA) has a deformed robot that collects images in advance to know the moon in advance in order to realize the "manned pressure loba" used for manned exploration on the moon.We announced a plan to send it to the moon.
This robot has been jointly researched by JAXA and Takara Tomy since 2016, and in 2019 Sony joined to provide control technology, and this time, Doshisha University joined to strengthen robot technology.。Kimitaka Watanabe, a professor at the Faculty of Life Medical School of Doshisha University, the representative of Doshisha University, was originally studying animal type and humanoid robots in Takara Tomy.
The deformed robot developed with the aim of launching in 2022 has a spherical size of about 8 cm in size, and weighs only about 250g.After it is released on the moon, the camera pops out from the center so that it breaks into two, and the broken spherical outer shell is made of a wheel, and while obtaining a photo image, "The self -positioned position of the manned pressurelora is the self -positioned position.We collect data to examine the evaluation of estimated algorithms and the impact of Legoris to driving performance.
The release statement explains that the robot is deformed, "by deforming it into a driving shape after arriving on the moon, the volume of the lunar landing ship can be reduced."Small weight may be an important point for the ISPACE landing machine used to transport to the moon to share the Canadian Space Agency's lunar rover (about 10 kg).However, because it is too small, this robot does not have a system that communicates directly with the earth, and will borrow a landing machine system and send data.
Considering the purpose and means, the spacecraft side is quicker to strengthen the necessary functions while reducing the movable parts that can cause failure and strengthening the rockets and landing machines that transport them.I feel like that.
Nevertheless, if you apply well with "Karakuri" and lightweight technology unique to Japan, it will enable the introduction of complex robot spacecraft that have not been considered practical until now, and make the transport rocket itself small and fuel efficiency.It also contributes to more payload.Furthermore, future "manned pressure lover" may be realized at less goods and low cost.
