Robots are going to do many things for us in space in the future. They are already being tested to help astronauts with basic tasks. GITAI is a startup that is building remote controlled robots to do work for astronauts in commercial space stations. The below robot was recently tested in a mock-up space station and managed to complete 72% of the tasks given to it.
Here are two modules for automated extrusion welding and 3D printing. WELDPLAST 200-i / 600-i can be mounted on robots and have a modular design to adapt to your projects. You can control temperatures, emissions, and all other parameters.
Meet the Burro: a collaborative robot for automation of outdoor tasks. The robot has follow me, row following and virtual conveyor belt modes. It can follow you around, recognize rows, and learn paths and retrace them.
In the past few years, we have covered plenty of drones that can be used for search and rescue missions. The TTRobotix RevealONE has a built-in radar system to monitor the vital signs. It can detect motion, respiration rate, and heartbeat from 30m in the air in open space and 10m in rubble.
In the past few years, we have showcased various Knightscope security robots here. The company has announced the availability of its facial recognition software for K1 security robot platform. It will use deep learning to detect, analyze, and compare faces.
Meet the SESTO Prime: an autonomous robot designed to reduce human error in manufacturing. It has a 7-axiss robot arm for object manipulation. The robot is flexible enough to maneuver in confined spaces and has bi-directional movement.
Robots are going to do many tasks in space. NASA’s Astrobees are robotic bees that can free up time for astronauts to focus on more important things. These cube-shaped robots can fly around, turn on any axis, and manipulate things with their robotic arm.
The Astrobee comes with cameras and sensors to perceive its surroundings and avoid obstacles. It is battery powered and can operate in automated and RC mode.
Our @Space_Station crew is gaining 3 robotic helpers — Astrobees! 🐝 These cube-shaped robots will stay busy, flying around the orbital lab assisting basic tasks & allowing our astronauts more time for science. But how will they do it? See for yourself: https://t.co/ghyiMwrWZ8 pic.twitter.com/qwwk5wljeH

Meet the Trinity F9: a fixed-wing drone with flexible mission capabilities and portable footprint. It has a 3-rotor configuration for VTOL. This mapping drone has a cruise speed of 60 km/h and can fly for 60 minutes.
Here is a shopping cart that can autonomously follow you, so you won’t have to break a sweat. The JangBoGo tracks users in complex environments and avoids obstacles without stopping.
