Ruimterobots op aarde

Control Mechanics
Mikroniek 4-2000 by C.J.M. Heemskerk 27 April 2006

Na een korte inleiding over het grote ruimtevaart project European Robotic Arm gaat dit artikel in op recente “aardse” projecten: VLT, glazenwasrobot, zitmeetlat, dexterous gripper. Wat hebben deze projecten gemeenschappelijk, en waar zitten de verschillen? Hoe worden dergelijke projecten aangepakt, hoe houdt u de technische en financiele risico’s in de tang en wat komt eruit? Waarom kan het aantrekkelijk zijn om prototype ontwikkeling uit te besteden?
