Abstract

To meet the dexterous manipulation needs of future missions, NASA is developing Robonaut, an astronaut-sized robot with two arms, two five-fingered hands, a head and a torso. Robonaut is advancing the state of the art in anthropomorphic robotic systems, dexterous robotic hands, modular robotic systems components and telepresence control systems.
