Autonomous systems based on robotics will be essential for future U.S. military programs in space, and new emphasis and priorities for research and development of robotics technology should be adopted now to meet the needs of these programs. A plan of research and development of robotics for military space programs, prepared by SRI International, emphasizes the early use of industrial robotics as a first step in the development of autonomous robots in space. A broad plan is proposed for intelligent robotics: in servicing spacecraft and their payloads, construction in space, ground manufacturing and assembly, and mining of extraterrestrial materials. The plan was presented at a workshop in July 1986, at which military, academic, and industrial experts in space and robotics technology noted shortcomings of the plan and offered suggestions for improving it. The need for a comprehensive, integrated plan was generally acknowledged. Major advances in both hardware and software are required, including sensors, effectors, and artificial intelligence for planning and control in a dynamic and changing environment.
