Robotic “Superlimbs” could help astronauts recover from falls
Researchers at MIT are working on a set of robotic limbs for future moonwalkers.
Artemis astronauts will aspire to do things humans haven’t done before, like building a habitable base to allow for long-term visits and exploring the heavily cratered lunar south pole. By contrast, Artemis mission participants – which will eventually include astronauts from countries like Japan too – will spend up to a week on the moon, learning to live and work away from Earth, in preparation for human expeditions to Mars. Ballesteros plans to spend the next few years of his PhD using a “Swiss Army Knife technique” to turn SuperLimbs into a system for astronauts that can “address different important use cases, but all be one unified design.”
