Most robots on distant planets are not designed with repairable parts, but the robots on the ISS are repairable. CanadArm 2 has already been repaired once. Shortly after installing the 60-foot arm, one of the joints stopped working. Astronauts had to do a spacewalk, in their spacesuits, to repair the damaged robot. Fortunately, CanadArm 2 has been working great ever since.
