I would like to thank Hiroki KATO from JAXA for opening the door to ROS for me and giving precious suggestions for my research. I would also like to thank Professor Mitsushige ODA, Professor Hiroki NAKANISHI, and my colleagues in the Space Robotics Lab at Tokyo Tech. They share wonderful future visions about cool robots working in space with me, give suggestions, and support my research to realize them using ROS. I would also like to thank my professors and colleagues at STAR Lab at the University of Surrey for providing me with important advice about how to use ROS in a real environment. I would especially like to thank my friends from Gran Canaria who introduced me to this exciting work.

Finally, big thanks go to my family, Yoshihiko, Nobuko, and Ayaka, who have supported my life and my dream, and my girlfriend, who understands me.
