…some companies have made recent progress. In November 2022, PickNik Robotics inked a deal with CisLunar Industries to explore how its software for robot arms could assist CisLunar with precision feeding of metal materials in the in-space metal processing solutions known as the Modular Space Foundry. In April 2023, PickNik partnered with Motiv Space Systems, a designer and manufacturer of motion controllers and space robots, to co-develop systems for in-space servicing, assembly, and manufacturing. In May 2023, Japan-based Gitai raised $30 million to enhance and accelerate the U.S. production of robots that will travel to space and help build a…
