Let's Connect

For bigger spacecraft capable of executing bigger missions, some of the assembly may be done in space. Your challenge is to design a simple approach that enables components to be assembled in space.

AssembleBot

Summary

Creation lies at the heart of change. Whether it’s artwork, hardware, or a new technology, challenges in this project are imagine, build, and create a useful mechanism for assembling in space missions. It is proposed to design a mechanism that to easily assemble and dock elements in space.The AssembleBot Project seeks to facilitate the assembly of machines, platforms, and various large equipment in space and has a spatial garbage collection skill during the assembly process. Textual programming allows us to perform more complex operations with a greater degree of precision that, in this case, helps us perfectly for a complex assembly. Space there is no assembly station for large machines.

How We Addressed This Challenge

Let's Connect

For bigger spacecraft capable of executing bigger missions, some of the assembly may be done in space. Our challenge is to design a simple approach that enables components to be assembled in space.

For that, we created a Assemble Mission It consists of a space station that will contain 3 robots inside.

Two of them will do assembly work to build in space and the other will do space garbage collection work.

Our assembly project seeks to: The prototype that is proposed for assembly in space corresponds to a semicircular module that is complemented by an interior module and are assembled by robots transported in it.

We hope that our project can make the assembly process easier in space and also be able to collect some of the space junk that is now around our planet.

How We Developed This Project

We developed it through the creation of 3D modeling and what the behavior of our project would look like in space.

From these models, we simulated the actions we want them to do: space station, theft, robotic hand and assembly system. As we simulated our project, we were fixing bugs and solving the needs we were encountering.

We use 2 industrial robots for the assembly process and a robotic arm to capture and collect space junk.In addition, we developed an assembly system thatfor assembly in space,corresponds to a modulesemicircular supplemented byan interior module and are armedindustrial robots they travel within the module andexterior with a robotic arm. In addition, inside proposes the implementation of batteries for power ingenergy required by robots.

How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project

We are guided in data, photographs, videos of space missions made by NASA. The section where the references should be filled out details the missions and data consulted for our project.

These references helped us decide what kind of robotic arm to use, how our mission would be sent into space and what it would be like to be put into orbit.

We apply principles and information from NASA's past space missions as:
