Proposed truss joint designed for assembly by robot. Requires only simple motions of end effector of robot, tolerates relatively large initial misalignment of strut, and assembled with little feedback. Principal features of joint: expanding collet latches it to node ball and collet expanded by flexible drive shaft operated by robot. Developed for Space Station, also used for robotic construction in hazardous or undersea locations.
