open space for people, reducing work time and making the work of astronauts easier. It is clear that the robot will not completely replace the astronaut, but it will complement and help the person.Evgeny Dudorov, executive director of the NPO "Android Technology"
The new Teleroid robot will be basedon the Science and Energy Module, on the surface of which he will be able to carry out research work. In addition, the robot will be able to be attached to the European ERA manipulator arm, on which it will be able to move along the surface of the station.
Dudorov noted that the new robot was created according toresults of working with “Fedor”. A number of functions have been added to the new device: to recognize objects, build a trajectory of movement to an object, move objects, and the like.
