NASA Sends Robot Arms to Build Things in Space

In a joint project between NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Arizona State University, they have launched robot arms which will do minor tasks in space.

To do this, they launched a rocket along with smaller payloads into space and then sent the cubesats after them. From there, the cubesats did all the work of locating the components and assembling them.
