Robonaut 2 — “the world’s most dexterous robot” was jointly developed by NASA engineers and General Motors (GM). A new robot is to supplement human activity both in space and in the factory, msnbc reports.

For the past three years, engineers from NASA and GM have been working on the prototypes, called Robonauts.

Robonaut 2 is more technologically advanced compared to his predecessor Robonaut 1 developed by NASA ten years ago. It can do the same types of tasks that human spacewalkers do, as he has human torso, head, arms, hands and fingers.
