MARM Three-Legged Robot Space
ETH Zurich’s ANYMal is designed to train like Sylvester Stallone in Rocky, while MARM can not only walk and move, but also grasp as well as transport payload modules as it self-relocates on space infrastructure in a microgravity environment. This three-legged robot will soon be tested in a physical simulator before a space-qualified version is built.



Designed by IIT, in collaboration with Leonardo S.p.A and GMV, the MARM robotic platform is comprised of a central body, three limbs and a docking device (powering + sending/receiving data). The three limbs are connected to a central pelvis base, which sets MARM apart compared to previously developed technologies since these limbs endow the robot with greater locomotion and manipulation flexibility while also providing a wider manipulation range.

MARM Three-Legged Robot Space

According to the envisioned scenario, the MARM platform will be able, through its electromechanical and control components and thanks to a perception system and the continuous exchange of inputs/outputs, to pick up a payload from a store, relocate itself while carrying it, and assemble it at the desired location. The MARM platform prototype will be used to evaluate the above scenario in a physical simulator arrangement in order to assess the feasibility of such solution prior to the development of the space-qualified version,” said the researchers.
