Frontiers in Robotics and AI, Volume 10, July 20232296-9144https://doi.org/10.3389/frobt.2023.1253381https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/20082The utilization of robotic systems in space is currently enabling new mission concepts and applications for both in-orbit operations Papadopoulos et al. (2021) and off-world exploration and exploitation Zarei and Chhabra (2022). Space robots are foreseen as essential for numerous on-orbit operations (e.g., servicing, assembly, and manufacturing), and their utilization in ongoing and under-development missions seems already consolidated or, in any case, achievable in a relatively short time Flores-Abad et al. (2014).enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/space roboticscollaborative robotsplanetary roboticsin-orbit roboticsmulti-agentArticle
