GITAI Successfully Demonstrates Lunar Manipulator and Rover in Simulated Regolith Chamber
TORRANCE, Calif., June 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- GITAI USA Inc. (GITAI), a leading space robotics startup, has achieved a significant milestone with the successful demonstration of a GITAI inchworm-type robotic arm equipped with a tool changer function and a GITAI Lunar Robotic Rover in a simulated regolith chamber.
The GITAI robots flawlessly executed all planned tasks within the simulated regolith chamber.
We are thrilled to share a video highlighting this remarkable technical demonstration.
GITAI, dedicated to providing advanced labor solutions for lunar and Martian infrastructure development, has conducted a series of tests, including environmental assessments in simulated space conditions, an upcoming demonstration outside the ISS, and successful lunar base construction demonstrations in a Mock Lunar Surface Environment.
As part of our lunar environment countermeasure testing, GITAI has also developed and tested lunar regolith countermeasures.
Concluding the lunar regolith countermeasure test, we have established a regolith chamber facility at the GITAI USA office, featuring a 7-ton regolith simulant (LHS-1E). Within this facility, we conducted comprehensive testing of the GITAI inchworm-type robotic arm and the GITAI Lunar Robotic Rover, successfully accomplishing the following tasks and operations:
- Tool changer demonstration:
* Sampling regolith using the backhoe tool.
* Sampling stones using the gripper tool. - Inchworm arm walking demonstration.
- Rover locomotion demonstration.
