Robotics Startup for Space Development
Labor in space (constructing and maintaining satellites, lunar settlements, and future Martian cities) is currently unsafe and costly for humans to perform directly.
GITAI builds robotic technologies—including a standard spacecraft platform, satellite components, an inchworm robot, and a lunar rover—to provide on-orbit servicing and lunar infrastructure construction.
The company points to a technical demonstration robot already deployed in a commercial module of the International Space Station, a U.S. Space Force Space-Based Interceptor Program selection, and a Missile Defense Agency SHIELD IDIQ contract award.
GITAI, a space robotics company founded by Sho Nakanose, is backed by Maezawa Fund (established by Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa) and holds a joint R&D partnership with Toyota to build a robotic arm for a lunar rover.
