Abstract

Space robots have appeared and developed along with mission requirements and has been continuously upgraded and iterated with the propulsion of related technologies. It is foreseeable that the future development of space robotics will be closely related to the tasks of manned spaceflight, deep space exploration, and on-orbit services. Driven by the mission demands, space robotics will integrate the latest achievements in the development of science and technology, and will be constantly improved in form, function, and performance to meet the needs of space missions.
