Ranger Satellite Servicing System autonomously grabs an object underwater28 June 2005 As part of the autonomy effort for ASTEP, one of the Ranger Satellite Servicing System's dexterous manipulators is being used to develop the procedures for autonomously grasping objects in the Arctic. Over the summer, the software team repeated the 1-g work they have done and used Ranger in its extended version to autonomously grab a duck. A video (2.5 Mb QuickTime) is online.
