A Robonaut is a dexterous humanoid robot built and designed at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC), in collaboration with General Motors and Oceaneering, designed a state-of-the-art, highly dexterous, humanoid robot: Robonaut 2 (R2). R2 is made up of multiple component technologies and systems, including vision systems, image recognition systems, sensor integrations, tendon hands, control algorithms. R2’s nearly 50 patented and patent-pending technologies can be applied to many industries, such as logistics and distribution, medical and industrial robotics.
