Space Robot

A robot designed for operation in space: satellite servicing, planetary exploration, orbital assembly, and astronaut assistance. Space robots must withstand extreme temperatures, radiation, and vacuum, often with communication delays (up to 24 min round-trip for Mars). Key examples include the Mars rovers (Curiosity, Perseverance), Canadarm2, and JAXA's HTV robots.
