Our space robotics technology makes it easy for Earth-based operators to coordinate autonomous, modular robots in all varieties of In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) applications. It does this by integrating our "MoveIt Pro Space" best-in-class motion planning and control software with an intuitive user interface and flight software certification artifacts.
Our supervised autonomy-based solution for robots in space has been designed with NASA JSC, NASA Ames, and US Space Force 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, OSAM-1, and OSAM-2 programs and has successfully completed several NASA SBIRs with JSC and Ames. We are also currently on several programs with the U.S. Space Force. We have 302 years of combined robotics experience and our PhDs and senior leaders have written more than 177 publications.
PickNik’s 50-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 11,000 sq ft facility is located in Boulder, Colorado.
Our technology is built on our MoveIt Pro product, and is being 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.
We offer the following services to space companies:
