The E-Walker (End-over-End Walking Manipulator) was originally designed for space assembly and disassembly.
Key Features
Modularity
The E-Walker is designed to be modular, allowing for both joint and end-effector reconfiguration, as well as ease of maintenance.
Autonomy
The E-Walker is designed to allow for autonomous operation. Operating autonomously vastly improves task completion speeds.
Symmetry
The E-Walker is symmetrical in design, simplifying control.
Swarm Capability
The E-Walker can operate in a swarm, allowing for cooperation between different E-Walkers for greater payloads, more complex tasks and efficient task completion.
Redundancy
With 7 degrees of freedom the E-Walker can handle complex environments as well as being able to operate despite loss of degrees of freedom.
