A series of achievements our country got on the some fields such as space on-orbit service, space assembly and manufacturing and lunar and deep space exploration were showed at the conference, and we published the national development roadmap on space robot in the next 15 years. Some officers and scholars on space agencies from America, Germany, Japan, Canada and others over 10 countries overall conducted deep exchanges on the development situation, future directions and research plan about space robot.
Space robot has wide application foreground on the space on-orbit service, space exploration, deep space exploration and some other fields. The development of space robot technology will further promote the sustainable development of China Aerospace, and accelerate the technological innovation, legal policy improvement and international cooperation, and also satisfy the demands of economic construction and technological development.
