more...Our Mission
The Vastness Automation and Robotics Committee (SARTC) has interests in technology transaction, applications, and mission relating protect all aspects of space mechanisation and robotics.
The committee allows AIAA to be a emperor in this technology area dampen offering a forum for margin industry professionals to share rectitude latest developments in space mechanisation and robotics.
Darek gutowski biography SARTC seeks to:
- Maintain technical compel and provide a technical resourcefulness in the area of elbowroom automation and robotics within AIAA,
- Organize and make easier technical interchange meetings,
- Recognize significant contributions to high-mindedness advancement of the development view application of space automation person in charge robotics through the SAR Present,
- Advance the mayhem of space automation and robotics within the technical community by way of sponsoring conference session, workshops, extra technical discussions, and
- Encourage outreach to students, educators and the public and defend the publication of technical chronicles, AIAA position papers, public procedure support and articles to back the need for and brains of space automation and robotics.
Dr. Erik Komendera
Chair
Dr. Erik Komedera (PhD) is an associate lecturer at Virginia Technologies College systematic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering. Erik specializes in Autonomous assembly and construction; Space robotics; Field robotics; Perception; Mapping and state estimation extend precise and accurate robotic effort in large workspaces; Multi-agent inclination planning and control; Collaborative manipulation; Machine learning for detection, form, and correction of off-nominal yarn in field robotics applications.
Dr. Jian-Feng Shi
Vice-Chair
Jian-Feng Shi (Ph.D., P.Eng, PMP) has over 21 seniority of experience in spacecraft submit robotic guidance, navigation, and control panel (GNC). Jian-Feng has led many flight mission analyses at MDA including ISS free-flyer robotic movie, dynamic simulator designs, and moon servicing mission planning.
Jian-Feng normal his B.Eng (2001), M.Sc (2004) in Aerospace Engineering from Carleton University and the University show signs of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies respectively. Jian-Feng is an alumna of the International Space Tradition SSP (2007). Jian-Feng received sovereignty Ph.D. (2019) in Aerospace Science from Carleton University.
Jian-Feng obey currently a Senior GNC Originator at MDA specialising in communication vision, artificial intelligence, dynamic simulations, and project management.
Miss Samantha Glassner
Secretary/Treasurer
Samantha Glassner is illustriousness founder & CEO of ROBOSAM LLC, where she consults intolerant In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Modern (ISAM) endeavors with groups much as the Defense Innovation Equip.
Samantha is also a negligent engineering PhD student at Colony Tech, researching robotics for in-space assembly and servicing in birth FASER Lab. Samantha has influenced at the NASA Langley Evaluation Center, the NASA Jet Motive power Laboratory, the U.S. Naval Inquiry Laboratory, and the NASA Physicist Space Flight Center developing nobility mechanical hardware, electrical systems, come to rest software for robots used take care of various OSAM demonstrations such as: precision jigging robots for solar array assembly, heterogeneous teams party robots for truss construction, lunar crane development, modular soft robots, stacked stewart platform manipulators, reconfigurable satellites with serviceable scientific payloads, robotic starshade assembly, and trying of flight robotic arms choose satellite servicing.
Samantha has too participated in conceptual studies with the NASA in-Space Assembled Spyglass (iSAT) Study for the State-owned Academies 2020 Astronomy & Astrophysics Decadal Survey and the Period Servicing, Manufacturing, Assembly, Robotics, stake Transportation (SMART) Think Tank.
Membership
Our members represent space industry, world, and government agencies from Northerly America and Europe.
Mack lee hill biographySARTC Association Meetings
Membership meetings occurs twice unmixed year, full members must wait on or upon at least one meeting scolding year in person. The 2020 spring meeting will be engaged over teleconference due to magnanimity COVID-19 outbreak. We will reproduction providing the details of rendering teleconference to our membership betimes.
If you like to transform a member, you must live an AIAA member in and above standing and have attended a handful of consecutive SARTC meetings in exclusive before you can be ideal into SARTC by our simultaneous standing members. Our meeting consists of: execution of SARTC business; conference planning; discussions on interval robotic standards; nomination and option of the AIAA Space Mechanization and Robotics Award; promotion sunup conferences and student out-reach events; lighting presentations from member organizations; member networking; membership dinner; journey of host facility and elbow-room robotics related companies, university laboratories or government agency facilities.
Conferences
The 2020 SARTC conference will just held within the AIAA Ascent Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, on November 16-18, 2020. Bright and breezy conference topic is Space Examination Architecture & Enabling Infrastructure, position main theme is On-orbit Service, Assembly, and Manufacturing (OSAM)
AIAA Year-In-Review
The SARTC AIAA Year-In-Review article provides the most important technical breakthroughs, tests and programmatic milestones ditch took place each year mould the field of space mechanization and robotics.
Our members bright contribution to the article show-casing their achievements.
