Robot Design May Revolutionize How We Build Things in Space

SciTechDaily, December 1, 2022

Researchers at the U.K.'s University of Lincoln (UoL) designed an end-over-end walking (E-Walker) robot for space construction projects. The E-Walker robot features seven degrees-of-freedom motion capabilities. UoL's Manu Nair and colleagues conducted an exercise in which they tested the E-Walker on the in-orbit assembly of a 25-meter (82-foot) Large Aperture Space Telescope. Nair said, "The proposed innovative E-Walker design proves to be versatile and an ideal candidate for future in-orbit missions. The E-Walker would be able to extend the life cycle of a mission by carrying out routine maintenance and servicing missions post assembly, in space." .... '
