Practice of Experimental Improvement and Development of Space Robotic Systems

Abstract

The paper discusses issues of applying space robotic systems (RSs), shows the role and place of humanoid RSs as high-tech service systems used to support activity of cosmonauts when implementing future space programs. It also considers the principles for the creation of a versatile computer-assisted humanoid RS to conduct psycho-physiological and ergonomic studies, to mature the skills of controlling various RSs using virtual reality technologies and means to monitor and control the motion and behavioral activity of an operator.
