Video: Helios humanoid robot brings a four-armed design for in-orbit missions

Orbit Robotics unveiled HELIOS, a lightweight four-armed humanoid robot designed for microgravity and orbital work.

The robot uses cable-driven joints and is meant to handle repetitive maintenance, cargo handling, and satellite servicing.

Orbit says HELIOS is being developed for space missions, with its IKARUS platform supporting the underlying control and manipulation tech.

The project highlights a growing push for robots optimized for space rather than Earth, aiming to ease astronaut workloads.
