New ISS astronaut meets Bumble, Honey, and Queen robots
On her first visit to Orbit, Nichole Ayers has just brought themselves to three robots stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).
“We got to the ground (or floating ??) here on the space station,” Airez, who arrived at ISS slightly more than a week ago, was in a post on X.
We hit the running land (or floating ??) here Space_station! In addition to collecting data for a study, I got the help of some programs on Astrobees. This is graft!

Asers said in its post, Astrobee robots are a technical and designed demonstration to help astronauts in ISS with routine duties that include inventory conducting, documenting experiments, transporting goods, and liberating astronauts to care for tasks “that require a human touch.”
Cubted flying robots were developed at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California Valley, and was sent to the tropical focus in 2019.
The floating robots include cameras and various navigation sensors, and it also comes with a touch screen, amplifier and microphone. They even have a mechanical arm that can be linked to different tools.
Instead of freely floating, Astrobee robots use a fan -based payment system to move in a specific direction, with energy for the masses and the rest of the robot provided via a battery on the plane. When the energy decreases, the robot automatically moves to a near -charging berth.
“Robots will play an important role in the agency’s mission to return to the moon, as well as other deep space tasks,” NASA says on its website. “Robots such as Astrobee have the ability to become care for future spacecraft, work to monitor and maintain smoothly operating systems while the crew is.”
One of the best robotic devices known in the space station is Canadarm2, a 17.6 -meter robotic armies that have been attached abroad from ISS since 2001, as it performs tasks such as transporting supplies, equipment, and space assistance. Earlier this year, NASA shared video clips of Sony Williams on a tour of Canadarm2 within a distance of 250 miles over London, England.
