11. Can robots be repaired in space? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
Most robots on distant planets are not designed with repairable parts, but the robots on the ISS are repairable. CanadArm 2 has already been repaired once. Shortly after installing the 60-foot arm, one of the joints stopped working. Astronauts had to do a spacewalk, in their spacesuits, to repair the damaged robot. Fortunately, CanadArm 2 has been working great ever since.
