Robonauts

In a recent article in MIT Technology Review Magazine I read about man like robots to space - Robonauts. The robot has four fingers and a thumb, a head, body and almost like a man. The plan is to create them by NASA and send them to space in case of repair. Interestingly the robot works the way human works - for the step by step controller's (human being) in earth, the robot repeats in space.

This project got kicked off after the recent space shuttle - Columbia - disaster. Although planned to be in action only after 3 years, the project is very important for human kind.

After all, human life is more precious!
