An adaptive controller is developed for a regolith excavation robot to determine the mass of excavated material and to account for the effects of gravity and friction while on the surface of other celestial bodies. A data-based integral concurrent learning (ICL) parameter update law accounts for and estimates the unknown mass, gravity, and friction parameters. A Lyapunov-based analysis proves that the trajectory tracking error and the parameter estimate errors exponentially converge to zero. An estimation of the mass of regolith excavated by the robot is calculated from the estimated parameters. A simulation study is performed to show the performance of the developed technique. Simulation results show that for 3 kilograms of excavated material, the mass estimate has an error of 4.9 grams.
