Robonaut lends a hand at Johnson Space Center

At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston we meet Robonaut, a robot designed to become a fully-fledged member of an astronaut team, helping to build structures in space and exploring other planets, "just like another member of the team" says Rob Ambrose, RobonautÕs chief designer. We seen Robonaut Ñ presently remotely controlled by a human Ñ as it uses the tools it would employ in space, and as it tests out a new set of wheels for its earthbound practice sessions.
