Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Robots help the space exploration process through the mechanical design of planetary rovers, the mechanical design of space manipulators, actuators and sensors of space robots, end-effector/tools of space robots, reconfigurable robots, and robot mobility.

Detailed explanation-2: -Robots don’t need to eat or sleep or go to the bathroom. They can survive in space for many years and can be left out there-no need for a return trip! Plus, robots can do lots of things that humans can’t. Some can withstand harsh conditions, like extreme temperatures or high levels of radiation.

Detailed explanation-3: -They must learn how to voyage through space towards destinations which will be not only scientific bases but also places to live. If space is a frontier, that frontier must see the presence of people. So the aim for humankind in the future will be not just the exploration of space, but its colonisation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Human space exploration helps to address fundamental questions about our place in the Universe and the history of our solar system.

Detailed explanation-5: -➨As it operates in the space, it takes longer time for radio signals to travel from space to the Earth. This will delay analysis time. ➨It does not provide much flexibility. ➨It has limited maintanence provision and hence shorten its life time.
