Our MoveIt™ Space technology makes it easy for Earth-based operators to coordinate autonomous robots in IVA and EVA applications. It does this by integrating best-in-class motion planning and control software with an intuitive user interface.
Our supervised autonomy-based solution for robots in space has been designed with NASA JSC to support high latency connections, enabling mission control to safely command robots from afar. We enable your space-grade robots to more safely and reliably do things too dangerous and tedious for humans to do in space.
Our team has direct experience with the Robonaut 2 program and has successfully completed a NASA SBIR Phase 2 with JSC. We have 742 years of combined robotics experience and our PhDs and senior leaders have written more than 177 publications.
PickNik’s 40-person team is structured and staffed to support government prime, government subcontract, and commercial projects. We comply with FAR/DFAR and ITAR control. Our company’s main 5256 sq ft facility is located in Boulder, Colorado.
Our technology is built on our MoveIt Supervisor and MoveIt Studio products, and is optimized as flight certified software.
In an ideal world robot arms would be fully autonomous, requiring no human interaction, no matter the complexity or difficulty of the task at hand.
The reality is that today there are many space applications that require a human in the loop to provide high-level command, monitoring, and support for when the robot gets stuck.
