The issue at hand
The astronauts on the ISS space station are incredibly productive with advancements in science and discovery, but like any creative mind, their “desk” can get pretty messy. And that is why the NASA Hunch program has tasked us with creating the controls of a robot to clean where the astronauts can’t.
How it’s modeled
HUNCH suggested we base the power system to be like a roomba, every hour or so returning to its station to charge. The “brains” however would work much like an octopus, with each arm having its own brain and motor, being able to be overridden by the central control system.
