Automation (Robotics)

 
With a dedicated robotic laboratory, including two industrial robotic arms and various Software and Hardware facilities, SELEX Galileo delivers advanced motion control software, sampling and manipulation systems. SELEX Galileo has participated in the most important ESA and ASI programmes in the fields of A&R: SPIDER, EUROPA, ERA (European Robotic Arm for the International Space Station), and is involved in on-going European programmes for planetary exploration and Space robotics such as Rosetta, ExoMars, Mars Sample Return, Dexarm and Eurobot.

EUROPA  EUROPA (External Use of RObotics for Payload Automation) is the ASI (Italian Space Agency) robotics technological demonstrator for the International Space Station (ISS). EUROPA includes a robotic arm, controller, data handling & power units and a task board for robotic experiments.

DEXARM  DEXARM, a lightweight Dextrous Robot Arm developed by a team led by SELEX Galileo, is intended for diverse Space robotics applications in which the manipulation/ intervention tasks were originally conceived for humans, typically the external or internal servicing of Space Station platforms and robotics for planetary exploration.
