📣 Exciting news from #ESAAcademy 🎓

🚀 Let’s meet the SKYWALKER team! ✨

🧑‍🎓 SKYWALKER is a student team from Aalborg University developing a robotic system that learns to move in microgravity using reinforcement learning. 🤖

🛠️ Their project is a step towards future autonomous robotics in space, aiming for autonomous construction, repair, and disassembly of structures in space. 🦾👩‍💻

As part of the ESA Academy Experiments Programme, they’ll test their experiment in the Orbital Robotics Lab at ESA ESTEC —  a unique facility that simulates space-like conditions. 🛰️

Through this programme, the team is gaining valuable hands-on experience in space robotics, software, and systems engineering —  all while chasing their dreams of working in the space sector. 👩‍🔬💫

@Rainmaker1973 I made a small plot to show the total weight based on the hydration percentage. Maybe this makes it a bit more intuitive.
