IDRA. The First Inflatable and Deployable Robotic Arm for Space

IDRA is a modular robotic manipulator combining inflatable links with electrically actuated joints.

It achieves extreme compactness when stowed, and expands in operation to provide a large workspace.

Large Workspace

64x larger than traditional manipulators

High Performance

High payload at low pressure

High stiffness, vibration damping with advanced materials

Scalable & Modular

to easily fit every mission

Patented mechanism

for deployment and retraction

We enable self-maintenance of satellites

Medium-to-large satellites represent high-value assets in orbit.

However, in-orbit maintenance operations are still largely unavailable.

Unexpected failures can compromise mission performance and lead to significant revenue losses..
