Over the next few decades, NASA plans to return humans to the moon. It will build a space station in lunar orbit. Build a permanent home base and laboratory on the lunar surface. to achieve the most ambitious goals is to send astronauts to Mars

But what remains is the question if these things actually happen. And if something is damaged How to fix it? For example, a meteorite fell and destroyed a residence. The crew was not there to make repairs. Recently, a team of scientists from the Resilient ExtraTerrestrial Habitats Institute (RETHi) led by Purdue University and Harvard University’s John A. Paulson College of Engineering and Applied Sciences D, University of Connecticut and the University of Texas, San Antonio in the United States. Together with Pusan ​​National University in South Korea, it has developed technology to allow autonomous robots to repair or replace damaged components in homes.

It is designed as a gripper or device to help hold workpieces in automatic production systems. They have finger-like features called scissor links that can be reconfigured. To make the finger change the number of joints Make it possible to hold the object firmly and firmly. You can still move and rotate objects without releasing them. along with continuously adjusting the shape of the finger to match the shape of the object and distribute the pressure at contact It is useful for handling irregularly shaped or fragile objects.
