Space and Extreme Robotics

• Space robotics: orbital servicing, planetary rovers (Mars rover autonomy), satellite inspection
• Communication constraints: high latency, limited bandwidth, onboard autonomy
• Radiation-hardened computing: constraints on hardware, model compression for space
• Autonomous navigation in unstructured terrain: visual-inertial odometry, hazard avoidance
• Underwater robotics: AUVs, ROVs, acoustic communication, SLAM in low-visibility
• Search and rescue robotics: disaster response, multi-robot coordination
• Swarm robotics: decentralised control, emergent behaviour, consensus algorithms
• Human-robot interaction: shared autonomy, teleoperation, trust calibration
