The development of autonomous robotic spacecrafts that could
automatically find a satellite, maneuver around it and eventually
realize mainteance missions atract the interest of different space
agencies.

NASA's Autonomous Rendezvous
Technology spacecraft will be tested in
the
DART project.
DART's mission is to see if a robot can handle a
task NASA previously has trusted only to astronauts: linking up two
spacecraft in orbit.
The Robotics Lab is working in collaboration with GMV
company to develop a visual navigation system for autonomous satellites
(
RISANAR project).
The Robotics Lab is now beginning a
new
project subcontracted by EADS-CASA to simulate some general
systems of the Eurofighter Aircraft and the integration of this
simulation in the tests bank SEAD3.
