NASA's Robonaut 2, the first humanoid robot in space, is put through its paces aboard the International Space Station, as seen in a photo sent by Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield on March 18, 2013. Robonaut was designed with the intention of eventually taking over tasks deemed too dangerous or mundane for astronauts. “It will be even more interesting when his legs are installed”, Hadfield said.
