Autonomous Robot Planning System for In-Space Assembly of Reconfigurable Structures

Large-scale space structures, such as telescopes or spacecrafts, require suitable in-situ assembly technologies in order to overcome the limitations on payload size and mass of current launch vehicles. In many application scenarios, manual assembly by astronauts is either highly cost-inefficient or not feasible at all due to orbital constraints. However, (semi-) autonomous robotic assembly systems...
