Zusammenfassung
Within this paper we present the electro-mechanical development
and testing of a highly integrated robotic joint.
We are giving insight in the design of mechanical and
electrical components and their evaluation with respect
to a LEO mission. Furthermore, the model philosophy is
described to adapt a joint, originally developed for terrestrial
robots, to space qualification. The result is a novel
and compact motor unit with integrated control electronics
for space applications.
