Dextre

Dextre is a robotic arm on the International Space Station designed to perform maintenance tasks and handle delicate operations that would be risky or impossible for astronauts. It has advanced dexterity, allowing it to manipulate tools, replace parts, and perform repairs with precision and safety. Acting as the station's "handyman," Dextre helps reduce the need for spacewalks, enhances operational efficiency, and extends the station’s lifespan. Its capabilities contribute significantly to the station’s ongoing scientific research and support activities in orbit.
