Project Abstract

Extreme lunar environments demand adaptive spatial solutions where conventional static architecture fails to accommodate changing operational demands and crew behaviors. This paper introduces "Restless Bubble," a movement-driven pneumatic system designed to optimize static habitat habitability and dynamic mobile missions during lunar surface resource exploration. Traditional surface exploration faces clear bottlenecks: fatiguing spacesuits limit astronaut mobility, while the restricted volume of planetary rovers compromises long-stay habitability during resource sampling. To address these challenges, the system functions as a dual-role adaptive interface. Inside the habitat base, it reconfigures its volume and morphology to accommodate the circadian routines and workspace demands of a six-member crew. During mobile missions, it serves as a deployable spatial extension inflating directly from a rover chassis, with the capacity to detach from the rover to function as an independent node that autonomously tracks an astronaut’s extravehicular trajectory.

The core of this research lies in its parametric design system, which establishes a digital bridge between dynamic human functional requirements and real-time spatial changes. By converting human behaviors into distinct computational forces, this system serves as the primary generative source for the Global Masterplan and Local Bubble Interaction. At the global scale, the astronaut's path drives five relational force vectors—sightline, surface access, adjacency, boundary, and volume forces—to synthesize the Global Masterplan layout and guide a six-phase space organization workflow. At the local scale, real-time skeletal kinetics, captured via a 10-node motion-tracking framework, govern the Local Bubble Interaction, morphing the volumetric envelope's boundaries in accordance with ergonomic postures. The physical feasibility of this responsive interaction is validated through a soft robotic actuator study analyzing bending mechanics and deformation trajectories. This framework presents an active "Building-as-a-Robot" system, demonstrating how motion-driven parametric logic provides spatial adaptability in extreme lunar conditions.
