Robonaut 2 prepares to become the first humanoid robot in space | Mail Online: "With his gold, metallic head and powerful white torso, he looks either like a creation from Star Wars or a member of an American Football team.
But Robonaut 2, or R2 as he is known, is about to become the seventh crew member on board the next Discovery shuttle launch.
NASA will send R2 to become a permanent resident of the International Space Station later this year where he will become the first humanoid robot in space.
R2 was developed jointly by NASA and General Motors in a joint bid to develop a robotic assistant that can work alongside human astronaut in space."
