NASA Robonaut Humanoid Space Robot

This is a clip from Doing the Dirty Work: Robots for Hire 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. Far future applications include robotic space exploration.

Why can't human prosthetics look as cool as this?

[rasmasyean]

@Predatorfan666 Maybe in the future they will. The problem is how do you control such a device with what arm that you have left.

listen to 4:47 > he said ''Right now, humans can't go above a couple hundred miles off the surface of the earth.'' If humans cannot go above a couple hundred miles up NOW... How in the world did we go to the moon in 1969? Hmmm.

[rasmasyean]

@georgebobby100 He's talking about the space station. No one ever "stayed" on the moon.  We just stepped on it in space suits and came back.

I have seen how great his arms and hands work... how does he move?

Wheels?

Does he speak?

Take voice commands?

[rasmasyean]

@Aeolis7 I think they are gonna put it on a big robot arm attached to the waist. An anstronaut (or maybe someone on earth) will wear a suit and goggles to teleoperate it to fix stuff in place of a real astronaut suited up. I believe GM is working with NASA to turn it into some kind of automated factory worker eventually.

@rasmasyean its about figuring out the nerve pulses

[CognitiveNetwork]

robots are the future

[BeethovenWannabe]

In the future, astronauts will have long hair.
