Robotic Arm automation

[Francesco Fiduccia]

Hi,

I’m new to the forum. 

I am planning to build something complicated in Low Kerbin Orbit and I was looking for an add on to automate a  Robotic Arm.
I have been playing the game without robotics, so I am not also aware of what kind of automation you can achieve with the Robotic Parts.
I bet for what I want to achieve I need to program the arm to orient his hands, grab parts and move around.

Thanks in advance,

Fra

There are a few mods that add robotics parts, but there’s also a DLC, Breaking Ground, that adds robotics (and some more cool stuff) which you might be interested in.

With all the features in KSP 1.12 you could try using EVA construction to assemble your station (there’s also Kerbal Attachment System and Kerbal Inventory System which do something similar, though they might not yet be compatible with the stock system), or build some kind of orbital tugboat with a grabber on the end and some RCS to push stuff around- though this becomes less practical with bigger assembly tasks.
