About Us

SPARX is a project about the development of an actuator like those found on robots.

Our timeline

Research

Every academic project needs information. In this step we are exploring existing solutions for robot actuators and are gaining knowledge about the complex environment of space.

Design

Careful choice of low cost but resilient components and combined effort will eventually lead us to a wörking prototype.

Validate

We will test our prototype within special environments, simulating the harshness of space, for example in radiation or dust chambers.
