Team RobOcto consists of 10 Bachelor students from the University of Twente who share a strong interest in space exploration and technology. The project focuses on developing a new way to capture and remove space debris, one of the major challenges facing modern space missions. The team has been selected in February 2026 for the ESA Academy Experiments Programme, and they will test their system in the Orbital Robotics Lab, which reproduces space-like motion in a controlled 2D environment.
