How powerful is the Chinese space station manipulator? This series of actions is so cool!

On June 21, according to media reports, the manipulator on the core module of China space station is the most intelligent, difficult and complex space intelligent manufacturing system in China. It is the most authentic restoration of human arm. The maximum carrying capacity of the manipulator is 25 tons. It can move the experimental module of the space station, and the manipulator of the space station can assist astronauts to get out of the module.

Through the docking and separation between the end effector and the target adapter, the mechanical arm of the core module is similar to the mortise and tenon structure commonly used by carpenters. It can realize the crawling function of the cabin, move to many parts of the space station in a worm like way, and then touch the outer surface of each cabin in a larger range.

The manipulator has the function of crawling the cabin and monitoring the state outside the cabin. When the manipulator is transferred to the experimental module, the construction of the space station can be carried out.

In addition, the manipulator can capture the hovering aircraft, transfer the cargo spacecraft load, check the status of the space station cabin surface, assist the astronauts to get out of the cabin, and realize the cascade combination with the experimental module.
