"The upgraded Robonaut and I are doing Tai Bo together." #Swanny

Robonaut 2 (R2) is an anthropomorphic robot on‐board the International Space Station. The primary role is experimental, demonstrating simple but necessary and time‐consuming tasks ranging from velocity air measurements to handrail cleaning. R2 also has a task‐board on which to practice flipping switches and pushing buttons and has been controlled by station crew members through the use of virtual reality gear. Legs were installed last month, each having seven joints and an end effector with vision system allowing the robot to take advantage of handrails and sockets. Future upgrades will ready R2 for work outside the space station.

Other robots exist inside the space station. SPHERES (Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient Experimental Satellites) are designed to look similar to the light saber training droid as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope. These CO2 cold gas propelled robots use open‐source platform smart‐phones, ultrasound beacons, accelerometers, and gyroscopes to test autonomous algorithms for docking control and formation flight. SPHERES are currently being used as a platform for a variety of projects including the Zero Robotics competition, where students from 6th‐12th grade program the SPHERES to solve an annual challenge. There are several external space station robotic arms used for critical operations.

The Space Station Remote Manipulator System, known as Canadarm2, is used to move supplies, equipment, and even spacewalking astronauts. It can grapple and berth visiting vehicles, inch‐worm across station structure, and ride the rails of the mobile transporter. Another robotic arm at the Japanese Experiment Module Kibo Exposed Facility is used for supporting experiments and maintenance tasks. These robots are routinely featured on several social media accounts including: Facebook/ISS, Twitter/Astro_Reid, and Twitter/ISS_Research. NASA PAO
