See moreA long robotic arm made for extravehicular tasks. It is shapped as a compass and is attached to the Russian compartment of the International Space Station (ISS), it can "walk" while gripping the outer wall with mechanisms at both ends of the arm. It can respond to control from the ground, inside or outside the ISS, and perform many tasks automatically or semi-automatically. It is responsible for the maintenance of the solar panels that power the ISS, visual inspection, and various other cargo with an accuracy of 5 mm to support astronauts' extra-vehicular activities.
