What is a space embodied robot?
A space embodied robot applies embodied AI to the space environment: the robot completes tasks through a closed loop of perception, decision-making and physical manipulation in real orbital conditions, such as on-orbit satellite servicing, capturing free-floating objects, in-space assembly and lunar surface operations.
What is ASTRO-Pocky?
ASTRO-Pocky is AstroUp's space-rated robotic arm: arm mass 10-20 kg, payload 2-6 kg at full extension, and reach up to 0.8-3 m depending on arm configuration, designed for on-orbit servicing and space manipulation tasks.
What is ASTRO-Pudding?
ASTRO-Pudding is AstroUp's modular space robot with a reconfigurable multi-limb architecture that can be combined and reshaped for different missions such as in-orbit assembly, maintenance and deep-space exploration.
