Competition Theme: Expandable Robots – From Small to Big (S2B) Motivation: Robots for exploration and operations, such as space robots for planetary surface missions, are facing constraints in mass and volume. Larger robots have potentially more capabilities for mobility and dexterity, yet small packing volumes are justified by the constraints of space transport vehicles….
