R is for Robot
Space Robots
• Planetary• Exploration Space Vehicles• Space Construction– Stationary– Walkers– Free-flying
• Teleoperated vs Autonomous– Perhaps mix for near earth asteroid exploitation
Planetary Robots
• Rovers• Fliers• On board labs• Drilling units• Asteroid Samplers• Landscaping• Construction
Space Robot Issues
• Mobility– Across various terrains, flying– In space (walking,crawling, free flight, navigation)
• Manipulation– In micro-gravity anchoring and compensating careful
movements • Extreme conditions– Deep space cold to hundreds of degrees– Ionizing radiation– Hard vacuum

Immortality through robots?
• Upload into robot body• Consider exo-cortex implications– What cannot be uploaded is in external processing
units• Perhaps even the original biological one
– Even tight brain to robot communication is a beginning
Recent Robot Abilities
• A new robot skin is at least as sensitive as human skin– Sensitive enough to register the steps of a
butterfly
• What’s left? Taste and smell?– Both simple molecular samplers.. Easy
• Of course BCI or BRI is needed– Advanced form of tele-operations• Surrogates
