| Title |
Robotic Assembly of Lattice Structures |
| Supervisor |
Krzysztof Skonieczny |
| Description |
The NASA Ames Coded Structures Lab's (CSL) ARMADAS (Automated Reconfigurable Mission Adaptive Digital Assembly Systems) project aims to automate the construction of cuboctahedral lattice structures with a robotic system. Composed of discrete materials (voxels), the structures can be built and reconfigured for the various needs of deep space exploration. Our aim is to use BILL-E (Bipedal Isotropic Lattice Locomoting Explorer) to autonomously transport, inspect, and place voxels, ultimately building a specified structure, all the while managing its power requirements efficiently. |
