In order to solve the problem of the depletion of the earth's mineral resources, it is imperative to develop and utilize rich space resources, and thus space mining has emerged.

[0003] Due to the harsh environment in space, space mining robots, as a direct and necessary means of space resource collection, have become a hot topic of research at home and abroad. Due to the relatively short development time, the current mining robots mainly have the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) Existing space mining robot technologies mostly focus on detection and sampling, lacking mature solutions for large-scale mining in low-gravity and high-radiation environments and reliable robot body structures;

[0005] (2) Due to the existence of extreme working environments, the robot mechanism is prone to thermal fatigue damage and component damage in high-radiation environments, and the rugged and complex terrain and gravel environment are likely to cause the failure of the robot's walking mechanism, resulting in the suspension and failure of the mining task;

[0006] (3) In the space environment, the robot has problems such as low energy supply efficiency, low resource exploitation and processing efficiency, etc., and in the process of autonomous operation, the robot needs to solve problems such as autonomous navigation and dynamic path planning, multi-robot cooperation and resource allocation optimization, and fault diagnosis and self-healing.

The controller is electrically connected to the control module of the compressor, the control module of the hydraulic station, the camera 71, the control module of the first servo motor 46, and the control module of the second servo motor 64.

[0071] The camera 71 can be used as an environmental perception module to ensure the movement and work of the robot. Through the controller, the mining robot can deploy machine vision algorithms through the camera 71. Combining visual odometry with on-board lidar point cloud data, etc., a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), autonomous navigation system, and obstacle avoidance system adapted to rugged terrain can be developed to plan the movement path of the robot and respond to sudden obstacles in milliseconds. Through the intelligent control of the control center, the invention can adapt to the mining work of the space mining robot in various unknown environments on multiple extraterrestrial celestial bodies, greatly increasing the efficiency and possibility of space mining.
