Robotics and Automation Systems and Interfaces 10.1 Overview Due to the harsh conditions on the Martian surface and the many time consuming and monotonous task, robotics and automation will play a vital role in habitat operations. The robotics and automation subsystem is responsible for designing the automated systems and interfaces that are outside of the scope of other subsystems [Hoffman et. al., 1997]. The Robotics and Automation subsystem is also responsible for designing the interfaces between all robotics systems and the habitat, except for the LPR, which is also covered by EVAS. The habitats robotic systems have a major role in the development of infrastructure elements of the habitat and habitat operations, including site analysis, habitat assembly, instrument deployment, and scientific investigation [Hoffman et. al., 1997].
