Space robotics is a specialized field within engineering and computer science focused on the design, development, control, and deployment of autonomous and teleoperated robotic systems for operations in the space environment. This research area investigates the unique challenges posed by extreme conditions such as vacuum, radiation, microgravity, temperature variations, communication delays, and limited resources, while developing solutions for tasks including exploration, assembly, maintenance, servicing, and resource utilization beyond Earth's atmosphere. Its significance lies in enabling missions that are too hazardous, costly, or long-duration for human presence, thereby expanding scientific knowledge, enabling space infrastructure development, and supporting future human endeavors in space.
