NASA sends new robot to ISS

Last month NASA and GM announced that they wants to send robot to ISS this September. Eventual goal of this project is to help astronauts on the station. The name of this robot is Robonaut2 for short R2. It weights 136Kg, it has head, torso and two fully functional arms. In the beginning of its mission it will be monitored how well it performs in the wightless environtment of the ISS, but later NASA hopes it will be able to help astronauts with work and even during space walks. John Olson from NASA said about this project:“The partnership of humans and robots will be critical to opening up the solar system and will allow us to go farther and achieve more than we can probably even imagine today.”
