Objectives for This Workshop

Review emerging technologies for robotic in-space assembly
Share research and ideas to better understand what

techniques work best for given applications

Identify new technologies that will enable more efficient

assembly of large structures in space

ICRA 2019 Robotic ISA Workshop Introduction/Carignan 11

Questions to think about

How do we do ground testing of large space structure assembly on the ground? What could you do with a robot servicer testbed in space to test construction and assembly? What should be the first major test of assembly of a large space structure? How can we form international partnerships (government, industry, academia) to push robot technology for ISA forward?
