GITAI USA Inc., a developer of systems for space exploration, will be showcasing its innovations at the upcoming RoboBusiness event in October. The space robotics market is estimated to be worth billions of dollars, with a predicted growth rate of 8.8% until 2030, providing ample opportunities for robotics developers. GITAI has developed the S2 dual-armed robot, which was part of recent missions aboard the International Space Station (ISS) to demonstrate in-space servicing, assembling, and manufacturing.
In addition to the S2 robot, GITAI has also developed the Inchworm lunar robot with grapple end effectors on both ends, allowing for autonomous movement and the ability to connect various tools for different tasks. The company’s Lunar Rover is designed to aid in constructing various structures on the moon, such as solar panels and habitat modules. Dr. Satoshi Kitano, vice president of hardware engineering at GITAI, will be presenting at RoboBusiness on the challenges of building a robotic workforce in space and the potential for robotics to support human activity on other planets.
RoboBusiness 2024 will feature over 60 speakers, 100 exhibitors, networking opportunities, and the Pitchfire Robotics Startup Competition. Keynote speakers include industry experts such as Rodney Brooks and Sergey Levine, with a focus on investments and business topics related to running a robotics company. The event will also include a keynote panel on driving the future of robotics innovation, featuring leaders from companies such as NVIDIA and DHL.
The event, co-located with DeviceTalks West, is organized by WTWH Media and offers sponsorship and exhibition opportunities for interested parties. For more information and to register for the event, visit the RoboBusiness website.
