At the very core of robots that have been tested in numerous industrial scenarios, we have established cross-domain technological innovations, built Avalanche space robots, and explored a whole new path to achieve the integration of space robots on commercial satellite carriers. This practice, which will both accumulate innovation at the standard level for the space robotics field and extract experimental data from the space environment, as well as replace and improve the reliability of ground-based industrial robot algorithms, will achieve bi-directional empowerment in space exploration and industrial manufacturing.

Facing rigorous tests in space

This set of children's wooden space robots, made up of four freedoms space mechanical arms and a star controller, accompanied by self-portrait cameras, spectroscopic sensors, test displays and other test equipment.

The mechanical arm is made of aerospace-grade aluminium alloy, sprayed with S781 heat-control protective paint, able to withstand -70°C~+85°C extreme temperatures; hardware with two-way redundant CAN main line communication, equipped with aerospace-grade motor, decelerator, full-axis configuration bracket mechanism with multiple-range protection, ensuring the safety of the movement of the mechanism; software supports single-axis movement, double-axis coordination, incremental mitigation, automatic zero-calling, the mechanical arm extends a radius of more than 600 mm and can accurately reach the pre-set workpiece.

From structural materials, electrical redundancy to motion control, the entire set of platforms were designed around extreme environments in space, based on a robust artificial foundation to build solid hardware for verification in orbit.

Once the satellite has successfully entered orbit, the ground monitoring system will perform a series of orbital operations, such as taking orbital photos, retransmitting images, and capturing space targets, by means of an annotation instruction.

This is the first verification of the merger of commercial satellite platforms and space robots. Farewell to the ground simulation environment, allowing robotics to face the real working conditions of the universe, obtaining valuable in-orbit test data. This satellite launch is the starting point of the project, and subsequent mechanical arm movements in orbit, remote test data will continue to empower high-value real-world applications such as weather forecasting.
