A Giant Leap for Humanoid Kind

NASA and GM are are working on an advanced humanoid robot that could soon hitch a ride into space.

The next generation of explorers to walk on the moon or Mars could be called robonauts. They may perform similar scientific tasks to astronauts, but wouldn't require any of the life support equipment or shelter. The first robonaut could travel to the space station to work side by side with astronauts in the next three years, if plans at NASA come to fruition.
