Skywalker team

The Skywalker team from Aalborg University, Denmark, was one of three student teams selected in the 2025 round of the ESA Academy Experiments programme.

For the experimental part of their research project, the team used the simulated two-dimensional microgravity environment at ESA’s Orbital Robotics Laboratory to test the reinforcement learning algorithms they have developed for their robotic arm. Their project aims to demonstrate the concept of autonomous crawling in microgravity.

The SKYWALKER team is composed of the following members: Alaa Eddin Kawara, Artem Melnyk, Bruno Miguelez de Salas, Daði Hrannar Davíðsson, Glenn Svendsen, Gustav Wang, Jón á Argjaboða, Lya Kokholm, Rasmus Kristiansen, Thor Bork Nielsen.
