Robonaut2

I came across a very interesting article which I thought I would share as my first post on my TECH blog. Where is our future headed? Are flying cars the next thing or is our generation headed towards something better, something better such as robots. I think the next thing on the moon is not a human but something closely mimicking that called Robonaut2. Nasa and General Motors are collaborating to create the first humanoid robots designed to perform similar task to that of astronauts on the moon. Not only would we spare the risk of human life we also could explore space without the need for human shelter or equipment, allowing us to find out more about space while at the same time making more frequent visits. Although they are nowhere close to the final design which they have been working on since 2007, they do have a sample of the upper torso of the humanoid which has over 350 sensors working to simulate human movement and feeling .
