SpaceBok: A Robot that 'Walks' in Space
Too Long; Didn't Read
SpaceBok, a quadruped robot, uses nature’s tactics for space exploration. The robot isn’t graded for space yet but still serves as a hub for experiments in regard to surface mobility in space. The Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich has published a research paper that showed the possibility of teaching the robot to work well as a legged robot in low gravity environments. Its lightweight design, kinematic chain for legs, hip extension, and knee extension allow it to perform experiments on leg mobility.
