Robots will prepare space for humans

Of course, not the whole cosmos, but a certain part of it. In other words, if scientists “burn out” everything this time, and in the future their development will receive a start in life, space hotels, a visit to Mars and other fantasy at the moment will become a reality. German Aerospace Center has long been working on the project of robots that can build. By the way, this robot is a humanoid, like other robots-cosmonauts before it.

Interestingly, is the humanoid form of a robot the most effective? Maybe something like an octopus with manipulators instead of suckers will work faster, better, more efficiently? But - scientists know better what they are doing, they have proved it more than once already.

The video at the bottom of this post shows us a robot named Justin, whom many call the most pleasant and humanized robot of all. The robot, unfortunately (or fortunately) is not able to do anything on its own, for its work an operator is needed who controls the entire creative process of our humanoid.


(mda, the robot looks somehow prettier)

Yes, in general, here and part of the answer to the question “why robots are made like us” is one thing to control those who look like you, moving their own fingers and limbs, and quite another to control some cosmic octopus.

But it is not about that now. In general, Justin has stereoscopic vision and has highly sensitive mechanical “fingers” that truly repeat the actions of the operator.

This robot, as mentioned above, is designed to create space bases that will circle around the Earth in different orbits. Justin and his colleagues will be able to deploy the base much faster than the astronauts in space suits, in which it is terribly inconvenient to work (or do you think that is convenient? =))

Ideally, the project looks like this - about a dozen robots are thrown out with a certain load and basic module, and the team of human operators on the ground quickly begin to act without experiencing such inconveniences as the same spacesuit, weightlessness and so on. The difficulty is in forcing robots in zero gravity to repeat everything that human operators do, but this is a purely technical matter, as long as the robot is sufficiently functional.

Well, now let's see what our Justin is capable of.
