As the demand for development/construction tasks in space are increasing, the requirements for robots in space are becoming diverse and complex.

Key Points: 
  • As the demand for development/construction tasks in space are increasing, the requirements for robots in space are becoming diverse and complex.
  • GITAI has responded to these needs by developing the GITAI IN1, an inchworm-type robotic arm equipped with "grapple end-effectors" on both ends of the arm.
  • This ground demonstration test emulates tasks that will be required for future lunar explorations and lunar base constructions using two robots: GITAI IN1, an inchworm-type robotic arm, and GITAI R1, a lunar rover.
  • GITAI is developing highly capable, safe, and reliable robots to help build and maintain satellites, space stations, lunar bases, and even cities on Mars.
