We included industrial designers in the team in an effort to create a robot that looked professional rather than either threatening or overly cute, basically, we wanted the perceptual equivalent of a St. Bernard.

We intend to spin the technologies developed for the terrestrial RoboSimian back out to applications in space, these tasks include assembly and maintenance of orbital structures; exploration of low-gravity bodies like asteroids, comets, and moons; exploration of caves and cliffs on Mars or our moon; and even preconstruction of habitats wherever humans care to venture in the solar system.
