Abstract
Deals with the design, modelling and construction of a prototype of a space telerobot for the rescue and recovery of astronauts in the area around a space station. The objective of the FRIEND robot project (an acronym of Flying Robot with Intelligently Ended Nursing Dexterity) is the testing of a telerobotised system controlled by a remote operator. The FRIEND robot is designed and constituted by a mechanical structure with two arms, an autonomous energy source, a sensor and motion control structure, a visual recognition system which acts as operator support, an expert intelligent system memorised in the computer for alternative choices in the stage of rescue and recovery of an astronaut in an emergency.<>
