About GITAI Lunar Rover R1.5

GITAI's Lunar Rover Manipulator record covers the manipulator-and-rover system demonstrated in a simulated lunar-regolith chamber in 2023. The test paired an inchworm robotic arm and tool changer with a lunar rover for backhoe sampling, gripper-based stone collection, arm locomotion and rover driving.

GITAI described the work as preparation for lunar manipulator and rover flight models. The combined demonstration is historical; GITAI's current product navigation lists the Inchworm Robot and Lunar Rover separately.
