From sewer to space: Kerala's Genrobotics wins ISRO contract for satellite technology

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 14 (UNI) Kerala-based Genrobotics Innovations has secured a contract from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to develop a high-precision robotic boom arm for satellite missions, marking a major expansion of its operations into advanced space engineering. The project, awarded by ISRO's U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), involves the indigenous development of an articulated mechanism for deploying and precisely orienting reflectors on satellite decks. Genrobotics' Space and Advanced Robotics division will develop a multi-link boom arm designed to withstand the mechanical stresses of launch and operate under the extreme thermal and vacuum conditions of space. The system…
