An Astrobee robotic free-flyer with tentacle-like arms was tested in a demonstration experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
NASA astronaut Suni Williams, who is currently serving as Expedition 72 Commander on the ISS, poses with the robotic flyer in the Kibo laboratory module in a new photo shared by NASA. Williams can be seen imitating the robot's curved arms, which are designed to wrap around objects to aid in satellite maintenance and space debris management.
