We developed a reconfigurable brachiating space robot (RBR) based on modularized design, cable reduction, and distributed control able to move over KIBO (Japanese experimental module) of the International Space Station in a brachiating manner and to reconfigure its arms based on task requirements. This paper presents RBR capabilities, focusing on grasping handrails and reconfiguration. We conduct experiments to evaluate RBR brachiation and reconfiguration and present results.
