Abstract
Since space intelligent robots are not restricted by physiological conditions, it is an attractive choice for the development of automation technology to use them for space exploration and utilization. It is currently the key development direction of the major space powers over the world. This paper first investigates the robotic manipulators and humanoid robot systems for space station applications and reviews theories and methods for robots to achieve large-range stable motion and intelligent dexterous manipulation. Then, the intelligent robot systems for on-orbit satellite maintenance are reviewed, and the related technologies of multirobot collaboration are analyzed. Finally, we investigate the intelligent robot systems for on-orbit assembly of large-scale spatial structures and summarize the technologies of modular assembly and on-orbit manufacture. Overall, this paper reviews the technological progress and development trends of space robots, which provides a good reference for further technical research in this field.

With the in-depth development of space resource utilization, large-aperture antennas, large-diameter optical devices, largescale solar power stations, and other large space structures are important development goals of space utilization and development in the world, while on-orbit assembly and maintenance of these mechanisms will mainly rely on space intelligent robots
Summary
It is an inevitable choice for the development of space automation technology to use space intelligent robots to realize space exploration and space resource utilization [1]. With the in-depth development of space resource utilization, large-aperture antennas, large-diameter optical devices, largescale solar power stations, and other large space structures are important development goals of space utilization and development in the world, while on-orbit assembly and maintenance of these mechanisms will mainly rely on space intelligent robots. It is of great social significance and economic benefits to develop and use space robots to realize on-orbit construction, assembly, and maintenance of space stations, satellites, and large space structures. Space: Science & Technology review, analyze, and summarize the technical progress and future development trend of space intelligent robots for the on-orbit operation requirements of space stations, satellites, and large space structures
