Abstract:

Mankind has continued challenging to the universe with curiosity since mid-1950s, and, as a result, the mankind could step on the moon and launch the satellites and exploration robots to several planets including Mars to collect desired information. The construction has contributed to the mankind’s development and abundant life for a long time. The interests of mankind are focused on the universe, and the mankind set forth expanding their life to the space based on the accumulated information on the universe. To realize these wishes, the mankind has to construction technologies, and the construction engineers of ability shall play a core role for the universal development. This study is to determine the elements to be considered for the space construction through examining the materials of the construction robot and space development. This study is purposed to present the development direction of robots for the space construction.
