The paper briefly outlines DLR's experience with real space robot missions (ROTEX and ETS VII). It then discusses forthcoming projects, e.g., free-flying systems in low or geostationary orbit and robot systems around the space station ISS, where the telerobotic system MARCO might represent a common baseline. Finally it describes our efforts in developing a new generation of "mechatronic" ultra-light weight arms with multifingered hands. The third arm generation is operable now (approaching present-day technical limits). In a similar way DLR's four-fingered hand II was a big step towards higher reliability and yet better performance. Artificial robonauts for space are a central goal now for the Europeans as well as for NASA, and the first verification tests of DLR's joint components are supposed to fly already end of 93 on the space station.

太空机器人-DLR的遥控机器人概念，轻巧的手臂和铰接的手。

本文简要概述了DLR在现实空间机器人任务（ROTEX和ETS VII）中的经验。然后，它讨论了即将到来的项目，例如低空或对地静止轨道的自由飞行系统以及空间站ISS周围的机器人系统，其中远程机器人系统MARCO可能代表一个共同的基线。最后，它介绍了我们在开发新一代多指双手“机电一体化”超轻型手臂方面所做的努力。第三代臂现在可以操作（接近当前的技术限制）。以类似的方式，DLR的四指手II是朝着更高的可靠性和更好的性能迈出的一大步。现在，用于太空的人造机器人是欧洲人和NASA的主要目标，也是DLR'的首次验证测试
