Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cría de abejas
DEF

Insecto himenóptero, de unos quince milímetros de largo, de color pardo negruzco y con vello rojizo.

OBS

La abeja es un insecto que vive formando colonias o colmenas, su cuerpo está dividido en tres partes, que son: cabeza, tórax y abdomen, libres las tres y con movimiento. La primera y la tercera se unen al tórax, por un delgado punto de articulación.

CONT

La miel, el polen y el agua son alimentos naturales de las abejas. Las abejas son uno de los principales ejemplos de trabajo colectivo en el reino animal, en cuya sociedad, cada casta (reina, obreras y zánganos) cumple una función [...]. En una colmena hay miles de obreras, cientos de zánganos y una reina.

Record 3 2003-10-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

ESA has presently only developed a basic end effector (BEE) for the European robotic arm. Although the BEE can support EVA and has a good overall performance, its size and mass make its use impractical for most of the operations involved in servicing payloads external to the spacecraft. The dexterity needed for these operations requires a much smaller, compact gripper, equipped with an array of sensors which fully monitor both its status and operations. Furthermore, it is desirable to keep to a minimum the limitations and constraints imposed on the payload by the interface requirements. Functions performed by the gripper are: recovery of insertion misalignments; positioning of an object at a target location; securing an object firmly and releasably; provision of mechanical power; monitoring gripper status and operation.

CONT

The Basic End-Effector (BEE) [is] permanently attached to the Robot arm tool-flange. [Its] mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible with the Standard Grasp Interface (SGI), available on all TEF [Technology Exposure Facility] subjects. Actions include grasp, move and release. Sensors include camera system for scene and close up visual inspection.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement et outillage d'exploration spatiale
  • Stations orbitales
CONT

Un modèle technologique de pince destinée aux interventions robotisées sur des charges utiles montées sur une plate-forme extérieure a été réalisé dans le cadre d'un contrat d'étude, de fabrication et d'essais. Sa conception satisfait aux rigoureuses conditions imposées en ce qui concerne aussi bien la masse et l'encombrement que la capacité de charge. La pince permet également d'exercer une force mécanique sur des éléments de charge utile pourvus d'un dispositif de préhension spécifique, pour les manipuler, actionner des mécanismes et transmettre des forces. Le principe de conception est simple et les interfaces avec la charge utile sont réduites au minimum.
