I recently had a chance to visit NASA’s Robonaut Space Robotics lab at NASA’s Space Center in Houston. In addition to meeting the development team of engineers, I also had a chance to get up close and personal with the real Robonaut 2.
Robonaut2, pictured here wearing a golden helmet, is a robot with incredible abilities and agility. Since the Robonaut project began in the late 1990s, the goal was to build robots that could work alongside and perform certain tasks on behalf of humans, so Robonaut robots needed to look a lot like humans.

In the beginning, Robonaut was humanoid only above the torso. Its lower body could be replaced according to different tasks and terrain. Like the one on wheels they call the Centaur.
