/PRNewswire/ -- GITAI USA Inc.
(GITAI), a leading space robotics startup, has achieved a
significant milestone with the successful demonstration of a GITAI
inchworm-type robotic arm equipped with a tool changer function and
a GITAI Lunar Robotic Rover in a simulated regolith chamber.
The GITAI robots flawlessly executed all planned tasks within
the simulated regolith chamber.
We are thrilled to share a video highlighting this remarkable

GITAI, dedicated to providing advanced labor solutions for lunar
and Martian infrastructure development, has conducted a series of
tests, including environmental assessments in simulated space
conditions, an upcoming demonstration outside the ISS, and
successful lunar base construction demonstrations in a Mock Lunar
Surface Environment.
As part of our lunar environment countermeasure testing, GITAI
has also developed and tested lunar regolith countermeasures.
Concluding the lunar regolith countermeasure test, we have
established a regolith chamber facility at the GITAI USA office, featuring a 7-ton regolith
simulant (LHS-1E). Within this facility, we conducted comprehensive
testing of the GITAI inchworm-type robotic arm and the GITAI Lunar
Robotic Rover, successfully accomplishing the following tasks and
operations:
- Tool changer demonstration:
* Sampling regolith using the backhoe tool.
* Sampling stones using the gripper tool.
- Inchworm arm walking demonstration.
- Rover locomotion demonstration.
