What is Robonaut? A dexterous, humanoid
robot Developed at NASA’s
Johnson Space Center (JSC) with support from GM
Designed to work side-by-side with humans
4 current Robonauts

Mobility Centaur 1 & 2
Rovers created to carry Robonaut and other payloads
“Space legs” Segwey ISS robotic arm Future lower bodies for
Robonaut include zero-gravity climbing legs for EVAs

Conclusion First Humanoid Robot in
space Additional phases for added
mobility initiated Modular parts to be sent to
ISS One of the most dexterous
robots of its kind Can do things humans
cannot (range of motion, precision, repeatability)
