HB-1 Atlas
Habitat assembly, before crew
- Status
- Integration — Bremen assembly hall
A dual-arm assembly robot that erects pressure vessels, mounts panels and torques every bolt to a signed record.
Crews should arrive to a habitat that already holds pressure. HB-1 Atlas assembles the shell, the airlock and the radiator field months before launch windows open, and leaves behind a verifiable build log for every joint it touched.

- 03Signed torque and weld records
- 04Collaborative mode with suited crew
Force-first control
Atlas feels a misaligned flange before it deforms one. Contact tasks run on force feedback, not on optimism.
Human-rated handover
Every assembly step is captured, hashed and replayable, so a habitat can be certified for crew from 200 million kilometres away.
Works with people
When crew arrive, Atlas becomes a second pair of hands — speed-limited, compliant and aware of every suited body nearby.
