Initially, Transport Rover robots would be the primary means of moving goods and materials about the telerobotic outpost. But as the outpost evolves toward permanent settlement and seeks out raw materials across progressively larger areas it will become impractical to employ such telerobots for bulk transit, particularly for the large volumes of raw material a settlement will ultimately need as it establishes materials self-sufficiency. Key materials collection sites will need outposts of their own and with continuous transit links to the primary settlement. Though likely to be semi-automated, the normal telerobots will still require routine monitoring and control by operators on Earth. This becomes impractical when the number of robots technicians must monitor becomes large. Similarly, th

abstract	Initially, Transport Rover robots would be the primary means of moving goods and materials about the telerobotic outpost. But as the outpost evolves toward permanent settlement and seeks out raw materials across progressively larger areas it will become impractical to employ such telerobots for bulk transit, particularly for the large volumes of raw material a settlement will ultimately need as it establishes materials self-sufficiency. Key materials collection sites will need outposts of their own and with continuous transit links to the primary settlement. Though likely to be semi-automated, the normal telerobots will still require routine monitoring and control by operators on Earth. This becomes impractical when the number of robots technicians must monitor becomes large. Similarly, the cost of individual telerobots is still relatively high and large numbers of them may not be cost effective for simple transportation tasks. Diverse self-adaptive automation that can largely eliminate teleoperation will require future advances in artificial intelligence, currently still speculative, thus simpler methods of automation would be needed to reduce teleoperation overhead. This is simple for stationary systems, but problematic for self-mobile machines in a distant and rugged environment. For long distance transportation the obvious approach is to limit motion along a transport route in such as a way as to reduce the parameters of control and the most common approach to that is some kind of track or rail. Thus a logical solution to this long distance transportation issue will be the use of various formed of tracked vehicles. In this section we will discuss some of the more likely forms of long distance automated transportation systems that may be deployed by the telerobotic outpost.
