This presentation will introduce the Simultaneous Localization and Additive Manufacturing (SLAAM) technique, designed for sub-millimeter accuracy in large-scale construction using space-grade regolith-based materials. SLAAM incorporates radiative heating and an AI-based control system, adhering to stringent standards set by NASA, ESA, and CSA. Developed in collaboration with the Canadian Space Agency at the Concordia Aerospace Robotics Lab, this research underscores SLAAM’s potential to enhance AM capabilities for Lunar construction. Attendees will gain insights into the technique’s development, multidisciplinary perspectives, and its implications for enabling sustainable, large-scale Lunar infrastructure.
