Besides the ability to shoot guns, the Fedor robot was also trained to lift weights, operate a drill, do push-ups, screw light bulbs, walk upright, insert keys into a lock, open doors, and drive.
The robot was initially developed for rescue work but engineers have suggested military uses for i
Space agencies including NASA have been working on robots designed for a space mission. In 2015, the U.S. space agency sent a humanoid robot called Robonaut 2 aboard the ISS. It was the first dexterous humanoid robot to be sent into space.
In June, SpaceX's 15th cargo mission to the ISS delivered the AI Robot CIMON. Astronauts will use the Crew Interactive Mobile Companion or CIMON to find out how artificial intelligence may augment tasks in a space habitat.
ISS crew members will assess how intelligent robots can lessen the stress and simplify the work of astronauts, which could have important implications for long-term space missions. NASA has long recognized the potential contributions of robots in space missions.

Wait till it punches a hole through the side of the space capsule or something.

>> also trained to lift weights, operate a drill, do push-ups, screw light bulbs
why build a robot that does exercising?
and how many times a day do they screw light bulbs?

Isn’t a satellite a robot?
Isn’t a space probe a robot?
Isn’t a Mars rover a robot?

"Robots are also excellent precursors for conducting science missions ahead of human exploration." That sounds like something a synth would say...

it matters not to a robot if it is on earth or some other surface. Zero gravity is different a terrestrial surface.

Would robots protest a statue erected to commemorate the first human to step foot on Mars, etc. etc. if a humanoid robot with AI stepped there first?

Call me crazy but I believe THIS RUSSIAN ROBOT HACKED THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!!! O.K., who's got the hotline number to Rachel Maddow? She HAS to have this information NOW!!!

“Screw lightbulbs”......Now that doesn’t sound fun for the poor guy. Painful for sure. I’m thinking they need to send up a chick sex-bot for him. That might work out better if any screwing needs doing.

Have you seen what the inside of that space station looks like - wires and equipment packages and tubes and such everywhere.
One just slightly clumsy robot could kill everyone on board so easily.
