The predominate concept behind the design of the telerobots used for Avalon’s telerobotic pre-settlement is one common to most of the phases of TMP. Min-A-Max; maximum diversity of use/application from a minimum diversity of components/elements. In fact, one could call this one of the key cultural precepts of TMP. However, with robots this becomes a significant challenge due to their physical and topological complexity combined with a need for very high compactness, compared to such things as architecture. Two technologies, likely to be particular engineering obsessions of Asgard MUOL and MUOF development, may prove critical to achieving Min-A-Max with Avalon robotics; SmartSocket and TouchPlate interfacing. SmartSockets are quick-connect/release socket elements that provide strong rigid m
