Four-armed robot may replace astronauts
Orbit Robotics has developed Helios, a four-armed space robot designed to assist with interior spacecraft tasks in microgravity. The robot uses two arms to anchor itself and two to handle tools, cargo, and equipment, aiding astronauts by performing routine maintenance, cargo unloading, and supply management. Helios’s tendon-driven design and smooth movement capabilities enhance stability and safety during operations, reflecting an approach tailored for space environments where traditional legs are less useful. The robot aims to reduce crew time spent on maintenance, enabling astronauts to focus more on scientific research and larger orbital projects.
