Robonaut
Robots  build cars, defuse bombs, not to mention attack each other for our amusement on late-night TV. They do so much for us and ask so little in return that showing one robot a little appreciate seems like the least we can do. So, with that in mind, please put your hands together for Robonaut! Developed by some of NASA¿s brightest minds, Robonaut not only has the looks to pass for an actual astronaut (five-fingered hands, realistic joint movement), but also possesses human-like peripheral vision and the ability to adjust to an ever-changing environment (a skill it will definitely need in orbit). While earthbound and under development for the time being, it¿s safe to assume this robot will make life in space easier for its fellow travelers once it blasts off. (in Robotics) |
