Zusammenfassung
In this paper, we present the results of an extensive study of existing space robotics technologies for use
in NASA’s Artemis programme. Our focus is on four technology categories: mobile platforms, robotic
manipulators, exoskeletons, and mobile manipulation systems. Although the main focus is on German
systems, we also studied European and international systems. We investigate systems that can be made
operational in the short term, as well as those with long-term potential. We then evaluate them based
on common key metrics and their position in NASA’s Moon to Mars Architecture. The evaluation was
performed based on published data and, where possible, direct outreach to manufacturers.
