NASA Robonaut Humanoid Astronaut Robot

This is a clip from The Science of Star Wars: Man & Machine documenting the NASA Robonaut. The robot is an extravehicular telepresence astronaut designed to use human tools to assist in space duties such as repairs, upgrades, and emergency activity. Its hand is the most dexterous human-like robot hand to-date and can perform many delicate tasks similar to what a person can do. Its eyes are binocular and enable depth-perception just like human eyes. With many sensors in its hands, future promises include bionic hands for amputees.

@mrnotalk there are aliens, im 100% sure. In our galaxy there are aproximately 100,000,000,000 stars like our sun. And around every star there are planets, some may have some may not. Now, with something like 800,000,000,000 planets in our galaxy, the probability of existing a planet with same conditions as our is high! And if this isn't enough for you, i can just tell you that there are like 100,000,000,000 galaxies around like our galaxy :D. Now make your conclusions!

I like how not only is the idea of a spacecraft fixing robot like the Astromech droids, and the hand-replacing idea from Star Wars, but neither video I watched of this robot so far mentioned the helmet actually looks like Boba Fett but not painted. This is one of the coolest things I have seen. Imagine sending a robot that could fly in the atmosphere of another planet.. or touchdown on far away planets.. walk around, and we see through it's eyes while it picks things up in the environment.

I allways knew Star Wars was a great inspiration.
