This paper describes the robot arm control design of the TORVEastro project. TORVEastro is a research program dedicated to the development of a new service robot that can assist astronauts in extravehicular activities (EVA) aboard orbiting space stations. After a brief description of the electronic system architecture and its implementation on the laboratory demonstrator robot, the control design is described. Preliminary control tests of a single arm with its basic movements are then illustrated; finally, the main critical aspects and results are reviewed.
