Robonaut

Robonaut is a humanoid robot developed by NASA to assist astronauts with tasks in space. Designed to operate in microgravity and handle tools like a human, Robonaut features dexterous hands, articulated arms, and advanced sensors for precision and safety. The first version, Robonaut 1, debuted in 2000, followed by Robonaut 2, which was launched to the International Space Station in 2011. The project demonstrates NASA’s efforts to integrate robotics into human space missions, improving efficiency and reducing astronaut workload.
