The new IEEE Transactions on Field Robotics (T-FR) announces a special issue on Space Robotics to examine topics related to robotics intended or applied beyond the Earth.
Space applications present many challenges to robotic systems: from extremes of temperature, vacuum, shock and gravity, to limitations on power and communication, from the intricate complexity of systems engineering, to requirements for reliability, robustness and autonomy.
They encourage papers addressing all aspects of space systems and applications. Robotic systems on Earth orbit, traveling in deep space, or operating on the surfaces of planets, moons, comets, or asteroids are of particular interest, as well systems envisioned for space application but developed and demonstrated in relevant environments here on Earth.
The T-FR encourages multimedia content and this issue seeks media illustrating space systems as well as open source software and public datasets related to space or analogue experiments
