Autonomy in planetary exploration is nowadays in the spotlight as space agencies and commercial ventures plan new missions to deploy rovers in other planets and moons. While autonomy has been extensively studied for terrestrial applications, its adaptation to space robotics remains an ongoing challenge. Addressing this need, the Space Robotics team at the University of Malaga emerged as a spin-off from the renowned Robotics and Mechatronics Research Group, which has extensive experience in field robotics and manipulation. In collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), the team has recently contributed to advancing path, motion planning, and perception methods for planetary exploration, deploying our algorithms in HDPR, ExoTeR, MaRTA, and RAT rover testbeds. 

The Space Robotics Lab is led by Carlos Pérez del Pulgar, and it belongs to the research group on Systems Engineering and Automation, and the Institute of Mechatronics and Cyber-Physical Systems, both at the University of Málaga. It is made up of different faculty members, students, and research support staff.

Our mission is to research and develop novel methods and techniques that help to increase autonomy in space robotics, covering both planetary and orbital scenarios. Our research takes advantage of earth-to-space technology adaptation and vice-versa. Moreover, the aim of the lab is to train future engineers in the field of space robotics, training students from the Industrial Engineering faculty at UMA to carry out internships and dissertation works in this topic. Most of our projects are conducted in collaboration with national and international research institutions through joint projects or via technology transfer contracts with companies and research organizations.
