Abstract
Recently,
there has been a tremendous growth of NASA robotic missions in planetary
science. These missions have provided vital discoveries, including the
determination of water-ice deposits at the moon's surface, as well as potential
environments on Mars where human and plant life could flourish. The development
and improvement of robotic systems integrate the scientific technology of
robotic system design and engineering analysis. One robotics that will be applied
to NASA deep space habitat has been studied via computer-aided design and
numerical simulation in this research. The aim of this research is to study a
simple and flexible robotic system for NASA lunar research. The purpose of the
computational simulation and analysis is to optimize the robotic system for a
better function. The methodologies of computer-aided 3D modeling, finite
element method, and structural analysis are applied to study and identify the
system's function including structural deformation and equivalent stress of
designed robotics. The analytical results can be used to validate the
functional reliability and to support future research of robotic systems.
