Abstract Space robotics is a key element of the Canadian Space Program. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA), through MD Robotics, has made a sizeable investment in space robotics to support human space exploration. Canadian robotic arms are in regular use on all Space Shuttle flights, and Canada is providing sophisticated hardware as the main robotic system to be used for the construction and operation of the International Space Station (ISS). Strategic robotic technologies are being developed to allow Canada to continue as a space robotic leader, and robotics for planetary exploration is seen as one of the main directions of evolution. This paper also highlights some of the management and financial challenges for robotics in support of human space exploration, and how these are being addressed in Canada.
