Zusammenfassung (Abstract) :

We present in this paper the specifications and design of a multi-legged robot with manipulation abilities for extraterrestrial surface exploration activities. The paper contains a brief description of the project LIMES as well as the major goals therein. The underlying methods of identifying system requirements are then described , including the envisaged mission scenario, resulting requirement lists and semantic graphs depicting dependencies. Included in this is the evaluation of different concepts with respect to varying criteria. A description of the functional principles and components is provided with regard to the merits of chosen forms of actuation, planned sensors, electronic devices and structural materials. Finally, a brief overview of how the system is to be realized is given as well as a description of the most important key technologies and components.
