Orbited
at 360 kilometres from the earth is the 1st humanoid robot that has
travelled to space. When he got to the International Space Station, the
1st thing he did was to shake hands with Daniel Burbank, the commandant
in this complex event. It's also the 1st ever image of a human and a
robot shaking hands in Space.
To
enable Robernaut 2 to articulate his hand, the controllers on earth
activated an information programme that permitted him to move his wrist,
so as to extend his right hand & correctly articulate his fingers.
The
humanoid weighs 150 kilos, and relies on 350 Sensors of all kinds for
his movements and tasks assigned to him. He is to stay, to live,so to
speak, permanently in the space station. During the initial years, he
will carry out simple tasks of maintenance to later perform more risky
missions, like exploration of areas that might be dangerous for his
human colleagues.
If
the mineshaft is big, the fright of the driver of this ill fated car is
very much bigger. In fact he was real lucky to live to tell the story.
He was just driving peacefully on a motorway and, like sudden
lightning, the ground directly blow his car opened up!!
The
image below were taken in the outskirts of the location, Manchang, in
China. The car was practically like hanging by a thread, leaving the
driver and all witnesses stunned and speechless, not to say the
furiously beating hearts.
