European developments in robotics for space applications have resulted in human arm-like manipulators with six or more rotational degrees of freedom. The rotary joints including their own electromechanical actuator and feedback sensors must be very compact units. The specific joint concept is presented as evolved so far. The problems encountered during the first hardware development phases are covered on both component and joint level.
