Icarus Robotics is a New York City-based space robotics startup building autonomous free-flying robots for orbital operations — logistics, maintenance, in-space manufacturing and scientific research. Its flagship platform, JOY, pairs eight fan thrusters with dual 7-degree-of-freedom dexterous arms and stereo depth perception, positioning it as an intravehicular activity (IVA) crew helper for the International Space Station. The company raised $6.1 million in seed funding in 2025 and is now working with Voyager Technologies to fly JOY on the ISS in the Joyride-1 mission in May 2027.
