Record 4 2005-01-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Applications of Automation
CONT

Marsupial robots act as a family. Like a kangaroo, a large mother robot carries one or more smaller child robots. The mother provides a docking platform to load and unload her "kids. "Should the mother's eyesight(her computer vision) begin to fail, for example, her kids will guide her back to their home using wireless sensors and adjustable autonomy. Marsupial robots are useful in search and rescue missions, performing repetitious tasks, and handling hazardous materials.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Automatisation et applications
OBS

[Le] mode "marsupial". Les robots se comportent comme une famille, une mère robot transportant des enfants robots plus petits. Elle leur offre une plate-forme servant aussi de base arrière. La mère et les enfants s'assistent réciproquement en cas de défaillances.

Each of the six joints on all four Canadarms has since been upgraded with new, digital SPAs [Servo Power Amplifiers], increasing the handling capability of the robot arm from 29, 500 kg to more than 120, 000 kg, the mass of the shuttle. Those digital SPAs are the equivalent of the Joint Electronics Units(JEU) that control each of the seven joints of the Station arm.

OBS

joint electronics unit; JEU: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

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

Chacune des six articulations des quatre Canadarm ont été mises à niveau au moyen de nouveaux SPA [Servo Power Amplifier] numériques, ce qui a permis d'accroître la capacité de manipulation du bras robotique de 29 500 kg à 120 000 kg, soit le poids de la navette. Ces SPA numériques [sont l'équivalent des] blocs électroniques d'articulation (JEU pour Joint Electronics Units) qui commandent les sept articulations du bras de la Station.

OBS

bloc électronique d'articulation; JEU : terme et abréviation uniformisés par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de la Station spatiale internationale (GTTSSI).
