Arkisys and Motiv Team Up to Build Advanced Robotic Arm for Space Outpost Efforts

LOS ALAMITOS, CA, UNITED STATES, November 18, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Arkisys (https://www.arkisys.com), who is building the world's first robotic Space Outpost for Assembly, Integration and Resupply, is teaming up with Motiv Space Systems (https://www.motivss.com), an innovative provider of robotics and motion control system solutions for extreme environments, to provide their xLink(TM) advanced robotic manipulation system for servicing and building spacecraft in orbit and beyond.

Through adaptive hardware and software interfaces, web and mobile-based interface ordering, and options for fast launch and data transport, Arkisys is building the Port (https://www.arkisys.com/the-port) which is an advanced Space Outpost that provides multiple capabilities and services for a global customer base. Arkisys is developing the platform which will connect customers to their data, their mission, and their ideas for space vessels and businesses now and in future.

Motiv Space Systems is excited to team up with Arkisys to develop the robotic arm for the Port. Motiv and Arkisys have successfully demonstrated advanced operations on the ground and look to advance the work moving forward. Both organizations see this robotic arm as a key element to the success of the Arkisys Port.

“Arkisys is excited to join forces with Motiv Space Systems, a global leader in advanced robotics. They have exceptional, proven capabilities to enable this next step into on-orbit aggregation and servicing on the Port.” says Dan Lopez, Chief Strategy Officer at Arkisys.

As part of the Arkisys Space Outpost program, Arkisys will be hosting several events in the coming weeks, beginning with:

- The First Port Call - Industry Day on November 18, 2020
