“Joy is remotely operated in the near term. Remote operation is a deliberate first step to gaining flight heritage now while collecting space-manipulation training data that doesn't exist yet anywhere. Utilizing this data we are developing fully autonomous robots. Why help astronauts? How do you differentiate from existing space robots? What's your timeline for autonomous operations without human control? Icarus Robotics AUTONOMOUS ORBITAL LABOR Newlab, Navy Yard Brooklyn, NY”
