Abstract

In this paper a prototype of BIT (Beijing Institute of Technology) astronaut robot with three leg-arm limbs is presented with performance characteristics from a demo test. An experimental demo for basic operation modes is presented simulating the BIT astronaut robot moving outside an orbital station with a lab testbed set up for experimental activity of robot characterization. Results of the demo tests are used to characterize the feasibility of the robot design and its operation also with experiences at ground gravity.
