For those interested in aerospace robotics graduate programs, I know
of several:

At MIT there is a Space Systems Laboratory, it is now under new
management so its focus will be changing.  Its former director was
Professor Dave Akin, who is now at

University of Maryland, College Park.  At MIT he investigated
underwater robots that simulated operations in zero gravity.  I also
visited

Stanford recently, and was very impressed by the robotics laboratory
in the aerospace department there under the direction of Professor
Robert Cannon.
