Subject statement

Objectives

Users

The first users are the people that will be living on mars. The second hand users are the engineers and programmers designing and programming the robots.

User requirements

Because the resources on Mars are very limited and the robot has to be build in a way that it is very easy to maintain, if a robot breaks it must be repaered swiftly and efficient. Especially in the early stages of a Mars mission, the people might not have the required knowledge to make any complex modifications or repairs to the robot. This has to be taken in account when the robot is designed and because of this the robot has to be easy to repair and to change out parts. The climate differs on Mars compared to that of Earth so

Scenario's

Summary literature search

Conditions on Mars

Space robotics

Farming robots

Literature search

To start of our project we are doing a literature research. We divided the literature search into the following areas:


1) The conditions on mars (including the effects on aggro culture due to these conditions)

2) Robots and machinery that are already used in outher space

3) Farming robots that are already being used on earth


For all of these areas papers will be searched and a summary of the overall findings will be given with refrences to the found papers.
