Japan's JAXA and the University of Tokyo jointly developed JEMInternalBall photography 3D printing machines were sent to the International Space Station for testing related technology applications. Recently, it passed back the first image and video captured. This robot can reduce the pressure on astronauts to shoot.
The International Space Station (ISS) is now home to an automated photography 3D printing robot. The photographic 3D printing robot named JEMInternalBall (or Int-Ball) was jointly developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the University of Tokyo. Excitingly, JAXA just released the first image and video captured by the photographic robot from ISS.
This cute robot integrates internal and external 3D printing components and is designed to operate in a zero-gravity environment, which is reported to be able to move by autonomous flight anytime, anywhere.
The robot enables scientists and flight controllers to capture images and video remotely, enabling them to work as an astronaut. On June 4th, the Int-Ball robot was sent to the International Space Station to test related technology applications.
It is reported that this photographic robot is about 15 cm in diameter and weighs about 1 kg. Under the control of the ground control center, it can use the 12 small fans on the body to fly freely in the space station of the International Space Station, and shoot astronauts and other activities, video data. It can be transmitted to the ground control center in real time. Shooting typically accounts for about 10% of the astronaut's total operating time, and this robot can alleviate the pressure on astronauts.
In the lens released by JAXA, the viewer can see the image inside the ISS captured by the Int-Ball 3D printing robot. Although the whole process is unfamiliar to ordinary people, because it does not understand the complexity of the operation of the space station, this lens can provide important feedback for controllers on the ground and even space astronauts.
JAXA said that “seeking to acquire robotics that can be used for future exploration missions†aims to further enhance the performance of Int-Ball, enhance its functionality, and promote the automation and autonomy of extra-vehicle experiments and automated experiments.
