Innovation in Space

Empowering exploration through intelligent robotics and advanced engineering

High-reliability robotic systems for planetary, orbital and ground applications

At Sener, we lead innovation in space by developing reliable, autonomous and intelligent robotic systems that extend the reach of human exploration. Our work in robotic and technology development for exploration includes robotic arms, control systems, and autonomous navigation technologies designed for operation in planetary, orbital and in-orbit environments. These advanced systems are the product of our experience in aerospace manufacturing, combining mechanical precision with software adaptability to meet the demands of next-generation missions.

Our portfolio includes the Dextrous Arm for the International Space Station, robotic interfaces like SIROM for in-orbit servicing, and autonomous platforms for planetary analogues and tactical ground vehicles. Whether deployed in structured space stations or unstructured planetary terrains, our robotic systems operate under extreme thermal, vibrational and safety constraints — ensuring mission continuity where human presence is not feasible.

Why choose us

We bring together decades of heritage in space mechanisms, GNC systems and space innovation, integrating artificial intelligence, sensor fusion and autonomy into every design. Our solutions are trusted by ESA, the European Defence Agency and top-tier OEMs seeking mission-critical robotic platforms with exceptional performance and scalability.

We deliver advanced robotic systems that combine spaceflight heritage with modular, intelligent adaptability

Our SIROM interface — designed for robotic docking, transfer and servicing — exemplifies our ability to engineer multifunctional solutions that support future space exploration assembly and maintenance missions.

How we work

We manage the full lifecycle of robotic systems, from conceptual design and mechanical architecture to embedded software, testing and operational deployment. Our developments are modular and scalable, capable of integrating with both ground-based and orbital platforms. This flexibility allows us to address varied mission needs — from tactical ground mobility to space exploration robotics and in orbit operations.

We provide full-cycle development with proven results in both space and terrestrial domains

We enable unmanned ground vehicles to operate in dynamic environments using robotic navigation systems derived from our spaceflight experience. These technologies demonstrate the cross-domain applicability of our innovations, supporting both terrestrial and orbital missions with adaptable, intelligent control solutions.

Advanced robotics and autonomous systems for space exploration

We offer multidisciplinary expertise in robotic and technology development for exploration, including robotic arms, autonomous navigation, science platform mechanisms, space robotics for in orbit operations and servicing, and AI-driven control systems — all designed to enable autonomy, precision and adaptability in complex space and planetary missions.
