Conceptual aerial robot design for Titan robotic exploration. The main body is maintained at mild temperatures (T1) while the arms are at ambient temperature T0 = −180 degrees. During flight, the pressure inside the arms (P1) is controlled and is set above P0 to adjust the flexibility of the arms, which can be actuated by a tendon system. The mission concept is that of a rotorcraft planetary lander, so the robot’s folding capability reduces hypersonic aeroshell constraints. -- cs.RO
