Dieleman, P. Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1990-12-19 Abstract This document contains an overview of results from studies on Automation and Robotics (A&R) within the European space community. The scope of the overview is limited to the results related to internal vehicular activities, with emphasis on the support of microgravity experimentation. Other research areas, such as internal servicing and external servicing are shortly discussed. In order to complete the overview of present state-of-the-art space A&R, some results of non-European studies are discussed and incorporated. The overview is used to identify and classify Research and Development (R&D) needs in the field of internal automation and robotics within the European space programme, and to identify the possibilities for participation in these/' activities by industries and institutes in the Netherlands.
