The Inchworm Space Arm is a versatile autonomous system designed for various tasks, such as maintaining orbital plots and assisting with cargo ship docking. Unlike fixed-point systems, it can maneuver across entire structures, making it highly adaptable. The space arm is equipped with rollable flexible solar panels as an independent energy source and stores energy in lithium-air batteries housed within the arm itself.
Both ends of the arm serve specific functions: one end is designed for secure attachment to the structure during work and can also be used for additional charging, while the other end houses an array of maintenance tools. This dual-purpose design enables the Inchworm Space Arm to efficiently perform a wide range of tasks in the space environment.
