Robotic Hands In Orbit
On October 1, 2026, Honda announced work with Redwire on a space-station robotics concept combining Honda’s multi-fingered robotic hand with Redwire’s STAARK robotic arm and experiment-locker technology. The proposed system is intended to handle experiments and other laboratory operations in orbit; it is an announced development effort, not a generally available product.
