The racks are placed in a 6-6-6-5 format along the four walls of the module. The end of the PM has an airlock and two window hatches. The exposed facility, experiment logistics module, and remote manipulator system all connect to the PM. It is the location for many of the press conferences that take place on board the station.
Gripper: A device for grasping or holding, attached to the free end of the last manipulator link; also called the robot’s hand or end-effector. Payload: The maximum payload is the amount of weight carried by the robot manipulator at reduced speed while maintaining rated precision. Nominal payload is measured at maximum speed while maintaining ...
The station received a second robotic arm during STS-124, the Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System (JEM-RMS). The JEM-RMS is primarily used to service the JEM Exposed Facility . An additional robotic arm, the European Robotic Arm (ERA) was launched alongside the Russian-built Multipurpose Laboratory Module on July 15, 2021.
One of the types of manipulators is balanced manipulator type MSP-250, controlled by the operator's hand. Such manipulators are used in various industries. Where there are special requirements to protect against fire and explosion, they may be driven by compressed air. A welding manipulator can be either open arc or submerged arc.
A manipulator can move an object with up to 6 degrees of freedom (DoF), determined by 3 translation 3T and 3 rotation 3R coordinates for full 3T3R mobility. However, when a manipulation task requires less than 6 DoF, the use of lower mobility manipulators, with fewer than 6 DoF, may bring advantages in terms of simpler architecture, easier control, faster motion and lower cost.

PMA-3 with IDA-3, attached to the zenith berth of the Harmony module, November 2024. PMA-3 was brought to the ISS by STS-92 in October 2000, mounted on a Spacelab pallet. [19] It was initially attached to the nadir (Earth-facing) berth of Unity. About six weeks later, when STS-97 delivered the P6 solar array truss structure, Endeavour docked at ...
The Canadarm while deploying a payload from the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle. A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm; the arm may be the sum total of the mechanism or may be part of a more complex robot.
At this endpoint, the tools are attached. In a wider sense, an end effector can be seen as the part of a robot that interacts with the work environment. This does not refer to the wheels of a mobile robot [1] or the feet of a humanoid robot, which are not end effectors but rather part of a robot's mobility.
