The robot-astronaut Robonaut 2 sent into space.
In space, was successfully tested Robonaut-2, the result of a collaboration of General Motors and NASA.
The primary objective of the experiment was to check directly to the robot in flight.
In the future, technical innovations are planning to adapt to perform dangerous or long and monotonous work on the ISS.
What is a space traveler? Legs "robonavta" No, but the torso is adapted for mounting in a variety of places (in theory, it can be put on the station arm). Over time R2 receives and "independent" bottom half, for, as you know, greater mobility.
It weighs 136 kilograms of cybernetic astronaut. His arms and head have a total of 42 degrees of freedom.
Responsible for the perception of the situation, more than 350 different kinds of sensors, including infrared cameras, and more the visible range. The brain is a robot, and a 38 processor is in the torso (the head is fully engaged cameras).
Backpack on his back an android - a transformer that is required to connect R2 to the grid to the power station or in the ground the laboratory.

Robotic NASA for planetary exploration with a complex landscapes.
To derive maximum benefit from research surface of planets, you need to create a model of robots capable of move not only horizontally, but also on a complex terrain with a slope. In short, the high degree of flexibility - it is the main requirement for Androids. It is also understood that the robot can easily be reconfigured, both physically and algorithmically a specific task.
In particular, robots LEMURs (Limbed Excursion Mechanical Utility Robots) are designed to meet the above mentioned requirements and navigate the complex surface.
Visually, the system looks like a hexagonal platform, which carries six limbs with four degrees of freedom. Technology, the subjects in this project will be used to build a better system. system able to move along the inclined and even vertical surfaces, while maintaining the stability to carry out simultaneously useful work and accomplish the task. These include - installation of equipment on steep slopes, delivery samples and so on. In this regard, one of the most promising areas is the creation of robotic driller on the steep rocks.

ATHLETE - lifting robots in space.
Jet Propulsion Laboratory (the leading American Center for robotic exploration of the solar system), which includes NASA's Johnson, Ames Centers, Stanford University, Boeing, has developed and demonstrated robotic vehicle ATHLETE (All-Terrain Hex-Legged Extra-Terrestrial Explorer). ATHLETE has the capacity for movement over rough terrain and "walking" in an extremely rough or steep terrain. The device is intended for use on the lunar surface during the loading / unloading and transportation of goods to any part in the missions as human beings, and without them.
The first version of the robotic vehicle has the following characteristics: 4 m in diameter; Dock to dock with other special units, 6 feet-manipulators; payload of 450 kg per robot (with docking multiple robots with this characteristic significantlyincreases).
The robot can move at a speed of 10 km / h on the test area (up to 100 times faster than the Mars exploration rover / MER /), with the angle of elevation is 35 ° on the rock, and 25 ° on the soft sand.

Space Robot - FIDO Rover.
FIDO Rover (Field Integrated Design and Operations) - a robotic rover prototype for future Mars missions. The car has passed all tests. Previously, such devices were used in the program NASA Mars Exploration Rovers, which started back in the year 2003.
FIDO Rover on the functions and features similar to the Mars Exploration Rovers, which is approximately 1.5 times and 2.5 times massive. And he and the other equipped with solar panels and onboard batteries for energy supply. From a management perspective them, there are subtle functional differences in the systems responsible for movement, mobility, navigation and control. both project uses a 6-wheeled platform and have the same engine management system and a system of celestial navigation. There are also small differences in robotic mechanisms, the most obvious of these is in the mast of stereootobrazheniya landscape surface and infrared spectrometer to measure the mineral content of soil. And finally, the set
top FIDO Rover robotic arm with five degrees of freedom is different in appearance from the hand of its predecessor, but
similar in function, namely, control of position, azimuth and height of the four built-in tools inside it.
