Details

KINETIK Space is devoted to bringing robotic manipulation solutions to space. As part of its portfolio, we offer modular robotic arms, end effectors and docking solutions (Capture Tool), and motor drive units and control for applications in space automation. Unlike our competitors, the unique torque-controlled joint technology enables our robots to perform highly sensitive work typically required for tasks such as in-space repair and assembly in LEO, MEO and GEO, IVR assistance, or EVR manipulation of cargo and inspection and maintenance activities. The KINETIK Space Robotic Technology is backed by a close collaboration with DLR, along with its decades of space robotics development and operations. With this partnership, the space community gains the necessary commercial access to use DLR’s cutting edge technology through KINETIK Space. It also enables KINETIK Space to continue working with cutting edge technology and leading experts in space robotics, which in turn drives our nimble and rapid development capabilities to suit the mission requirements.
