About

Peter Godart is a pioneering researcher in space robotics and autonomous systems, with a focus on enabling the future of in-space assembly and robotic construction. His work addresses critical challenges in developing robotic systems that can autonomously assemble large, complex spacecraft and structures that are too large to launch fully assembled. Godart's research on an untethered mobile limb for modular in-space assembly—cited over 4 times—introduces novel concepts for robotic mobility and manipulation in zero-gravity environments, offering a path toward cost-effective, scalable space infrastructure. Additionally, he has made significant contributions to software engineering for robotics, notably in auto-generating real-time control code from SysML models, which streamlines the development of reliable, hardware-aware robotic systems. This work, also cited over 4 times, bridges the gap between high-level system design and low-level control implementation. Godart's achievements highlight his role at the intersection of mechanical design, software automation, and space exploration, making him a notable figure in advancing autonomous assembly technologies that could transform how we build and maintain structures in orbit and beyond.
