Astrobee (robot)
Astrobee is a robotic system developed by the US space agency NASA to assist Astronaut, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Astrobee consists of three 12.5-inch cube-shaped robots named Honey, Queen, and Bumble, along with software and a docking station for recharging. Astrobee was created to perform some routine tasks on the ISS, allowing astronauts to focus on tasks which require human activities. Overview Astrobee can operate either autonomously or under remote control by astronauts, flight controllers, or ground researchers. The robots are equipped with cameras and sensors to navigate the microgravity environment and perform tasks such as inventory management, experiment documentation, and cargo movement. The robots utilize an electric fan to push air through 12 nozzles, enabling free flight within the space station. Astrobee was designed to improve upon the design of the Synchornized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) ...
