China works out robot series for lunar exploration
‘Chinese scientists say they haveworked out a group of secondary robots which resemble wheels of a vehicle to carry out exploration missions on the moon.
The robot series are an array of independently-controlled, concurrent and reconfigurable secondary robots, each consisting ofan arm for carrying objects, collecting samples, surveying and mapping, and a triangular wheel for independent walking and skipping obstacles, said a spokesman for the Automation Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
The institute, based in Shenyang, capital of northeast China’s Liaoning Province, is the independent developer of the robots which have passed the appraisal test by the Chinese government.
These secondary robots are like wheels of the moon rover, whichis also made up of a primary robot, the bodywork of the vehicle, said the CAS spokesman who declined to be named.’
