Ergonomic Support for the Development of Anthropomorphic Robotic Systems for Space Purposes

Advanced projects of exploration and use of the Moon and other planets of the Solar system involve extensive use of robotic systems for space purposes and, in particular, anthropomorphic robot assistants for space expedition crews. The challenges of effective organization of interaction between the cosmonauts and robot assistants are of particular importance. The article examines the main ergonomic problems that arise in the development and use of collaborative robots, the content of the process of ergonomic support for their development and the methodological approach to its implementation. The results of the experimental research are also presented.
