And now do hold R2 to … Astronaut Robot!

R2 robot What you see here is a robot that both NASA and the GM, made to go into space. Yes, it sounds like science fiction, but what is happening now.

In fact, there is a video of it after the jump, so you can see the robot at work. You will notice that in May they are very precise assembly and disassembly, but can only work slowly. I suppose if the weather is no problem, these robots would probably be sent immediately to the space station.

Yes, there are probably many bugs to work before these robots are ready to be sent into orbit. Of course, one sees the need for astronauts robot. Why send a man up there, if you get a robot that can do the same work for? Of course, if the robot breaks, then you prefer to send a robot to repair the thing.

Yes, this robot R2 is amazing. And yes, they call it R2 and R2-D2 robot from Star Wars (minus D2). Of course it is much more like C3-PO, really. After some thought, it bears a strong resemblance to Samus Aran, the heroine of the Metroid video game series.

Well, on the video, you may have noticed a separate shots robot R2, held a sort of hand drill that resembles a weapon. Uh-oh! This is, as T3, or closed?
