WHAT IS ROBONAUT ?
Robonaut is a different class of robot than other current

space faring robots.
Robonaut is a robot designed to assist humans in space

exploration missions.
The core idea behind the Robonaut series of robots is to

have a humanoid machine to work along-side astronauts.
PARTS OF ROBONAUT
 HAND
 ARMS
 HEAD
 TELEPRESENCE
 TORSO
 LEG
BODY
ROBONAUT USES A FLEXIBLE, FIVE-FINGERED
HAND
Robonaut's hands might have better dexterity than a human

handed inside of a space suit
HEAD-The Robonaut head has two
ARMS- Robonaut has two arms
eyes and a neck with two degrees of
designed to be equivalent to human
freedom-- the ability to nod up and
strength,scale, reach and dexterity.
down and shake left and right.
TELEPRESENCE
 Telepresence is the use of
virtual reality hardware. This
allows the human to operate the
robonauts movement by moving
their own bodies.
 Telepresence allows the

robonaut to perform movements
such as using scissors to cut,
tying a knot and using power
tools.

What Robonauts Are Made Of
Behind R2’s visor are four visible light cameras –
R2’s head houses not its brain, but
two to provide stereo vision for the robot and its

operators, and two auxiliary cameras.
A fifth infrared camera is housed in the

freedom in its neck,
allowing it to look
left, right, up, or down.
Each arm boasts 7 degrees of

freedom and the strength to hold 20
pounds in any pose in Earth’s gravity.
Robonaut 2’s hands have 12degrees of freedom

– 4 degrees of freedom in the thumb, 3 degrees R2 thinks with its stomach – literally. With

finger has a grasping force of 5 pounds.
ROBONAUT 2 R(2)
The second Robonaut series (R2A
and R2B) was a joint effort between
NASA and General Motors.
The R2 system is capable of moving

its arms up to 2 m/s and has a 40 lb
payload capacity.
R2s can work autonomously, together Itshands have a grasping force of

or alongside humans. roughly 5 lbs per finger.
All the numerous sensors in the

robot number over 350.
FUTURE PLANS
Near the end of 2009/ early 2010 a proposed mission called

Project M was announced by JSC that if approved would land
a R2 robot on the moon within 1000 days.
EARTH APPLICATIONS
 The R2 has wide applications in space and on Earth.
 NASA plans to use robonauts to expand capabilities for

construction and discovery in space.
 For GM, R2 represents a step toward safer vehicle

assembly plants and greater protection for employees.
ADVANTAGES OF USING ROBOTS
 Tasks are done quicker.
 Humans are not placed in danger.
 Robots do not need to be brought back to earth, which is
easier.
 Robots do not require life support (food and energy).
 Robots can go places humans cannot.
 Sending robots into space instead of humans is easier on the
economy.
DISADVANTAGES OF ROBOTS
 Robots have not been designed to install and fix things that
humans can.
 Robots cannot handle problems that they are not able to see,
where as humans can.
 Robots cannot perform extensive research that humans can.
 Robots can malfunction on individual missions and humans

will not be there to fix the problem.
FAST FACTS
Designed to do task a human would do in space
Can be controlled remotely
Helmet resembles that of the Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett
This is because both Robonaut's and Boba Fett's designers were
inspired by the appearance of the Roman centurion helmet.
