What does exist is the need to grip surfaces, manipulate tools, move through narrow corridors, and not go flying every time you push against something. Two legs solve none of those problems.Orbit Robotics, an academic spinout from ETH Zurich, built Helios around a single premise: don't design for a gravity environment if you're going to work in microgravity. The result is a four-armed robot that looks like the febrile delirium of a science fiction writer but represents one of the...
