My uncle worked for International Submarine for a while. Although he wasn’t involved with the Canadarm project itself, he was using the tech for other stuff. At one point I remember an automated gas station project, that used the arm to open fuel doors, unscrew gas caps, and fuel a car. It was pretty space-agey stuff for the late 90's. Heck, it’d be pretty space-agey today.

Fun Canadarm Facts:
The arm has six joints – two in the shoulder, one at the elbow and three in the wrist. It’s hollow – on Earth it wouldn’t be able to support even its own weight. But in space it can lift more than 586,000 pounds. Thanks to some upgrades, the 50-foot-long arm is accurate enough to put a peg in a hole given 60/1000 of an inch in clearance. ( NASA )
