The Fleet
Seven units. Each built on a standardized cube chassis so they dock seamlessly to NEXUS and to each other. Same base shape, different attachments. They snap together like lego blocks — combining into larger structures when the mission demands it.
Core Principle
Every AMP unit is a building block. They dock together — physically and electrically — to form larger, more capable structures on demand. Two BUILDERs lock together for heavier lifts. A MULE connects to a GRIP for long-range heavy transport. Multiple units combine into a scaffolding rig that none could be alone. The fleet isn't just a collection of robots — it's a reconfigurable system that assembles itself into whatever the mission requires.
Need more arms? Dock two BUILDERs. Need a mobile crane? GRIP mounts on MULE. Need a sensor platform? Stack EYEs on a SPIDER. The combinations are emergent — each new configuration creates capability that didn't exist before.
At scale, the robots don't just build structures — they become the structure. Hundreds of units docked together form trusses, frames, and scaffolds. The line between robot and infrastructure disappears.
AMP-0
Mothership & Charging Station
A rectangular satellite bus with long solar panel wings. The central hub where all AMP units dock to recharge, refill compressed nitrogen, download mission updates, and undergo automated maintenance. Eight docking bays along the underside hold the full fleet simultaneously. Orbits the work site and dispatches units as needed.
AMP-1
Construction & Assembly
The original. A compact cube with two fully articulated arms. Connects structural components, installs panels, fastens bolts, and assembles infrastructure piece by piece in microgravity. The core unit of any construction operation.
AMP-2
Surface Crawling & Maintenance
Standard cube chassis with six articulated legs tipped with magnetic feet. Crawls along the exterior surfaces of stations and spacecraft. Inspects hull integrity, replaces damaged tiles, tightens connections, and reaches areas free-flyers can't. Docks back to NEXUS via standard top port.
AMP-3
Cargo Transport
An elongated cube with thruster clusters at each end. No arms — just a cargo platform with tie-down points and rail guides on top. Hauls structural beams, fuel cells, and material pallets between NEXUS and work sites. Standard docking interfaces on all faces.
AMP-4
Energy Collection & Transfer
Standard cube chassis with large integrated solar wings. Collects energy and stores it in its central core, then docks with NEXUS or other robots to transfer power directly. The fleet's mobile power supply — goes where energy is needed, keeping units charged without returning to base.
AMP-5
Inspection & Mapping
Standard cube chassis covered in cameras and sensors on every face. No arms, no tools — just observation. Maps environments in 3D, inspects structures for damage, monitors construction progress, and provides real-time visual feeds back to NEXUS. The fleet's situational awareness.
AMP-6
Grappling & Repositioning
Standard cube chassis with a single massive robotic arm. The space crane. Grabs satellites, repositions modules, holds large structures in place during assembly, and captures debris. What the BUILDER handles with finesse, GRIP handles with force. Docks to MULE for mobile heavy-lift operations.
