Abstract

In the US-German Spacelab mission D2 (April/May 1993) a new level of automation capabilities has been achieved with the ROTEX-‘freeflyer’-experiment of DLR. For the first time, a combined human/robotic task force on the ground succeeded in visually controlled tele-grasping of a free floating object on board the Space Shuttle Columbia within a working cell of the German Spacelab by a remotely controlled robot arm. The contributions of UniBwM in the fields of monocular motion-stereo vision, state prediction and fully automatic grasping under long delay times (5 to 7 seconds) are discussed in detail.
