Today Russia Launched An Unmanned Rocket Carrying A Life-Sized Humanoid Robot

ATS, meet Fedor (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research), a Russian humanoid robot that was launched into space today. He will soon be working alongside Russian crew members at the International Space Station.

Anyone remember the Class M-3 Model B-9 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot who starred in the 60's TV series 'Lost In Space?'

The science fiction of the mid 60's, is already becoming a reality. It makes sense sending robots into space, maybe on long exploratory voyages, once Quantum Artificial Intelligence becomes an everyday reality.

Russia on Thursday launched an unmanned rocket carrying a life-size humanoid robot that will spend 10 days learning to assist astronauts on the International Space Station.

Named Fedor, short for Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research, the robot is the first ever sent up by Russia.

Fedor better step up his game before agreeing to a pay-per-view octagon challenge with the Boston Dynamics robot.

Robot abuse. I demand freedom! #robotlifematters!

Also does Fedor come with Russian Netflix? Aliens want to see human movies.

That first video is by Corridor Digital, who specialize in CGI/Visual Effects.
Unfortunately, not the real deal.
The bottom one, closer to the truth.

Did this robot ask to be sent into space? #RobotLivesMatter

Seriously though this is pretty cool, thanks for sharing...

It's pretty cool tech, NASA had one onboard the ISS too, it was a bit of a dud though.

Isn't Google suing them because they use the word Android?

Isn't some richass elite crapforbrains agitated enough to at least warmonger over that?

Come on. Somebody must me jealous.

a reply to: Daalder

You at least can't let the Russians have anything... Come on! Where is the America we know?

At least degrade it like there's no tomorrow.

Back in 1960 as part of testing for the manned Vostok mission Russians (hen Soviet Union) launched dummy name "IVAN
IVANOVICH " Literally JOHN DOE

The Dummy. wearing a space suit, had a sign placed in visor saying "MAKET" - Russian for dummy to avoid having people
who saw it mistaking it for a dead body or an alien …..

en.wikipedia.org...(Vostok_programme)

Ivan was later sold by Sotheby auction house It was bought by late Ross Perot and loaned to National Air and Space museum and placed on display

Elon Musk for first test of FALCON HEAVY booster launched a Tesla roadster with a crash test dummy named STARMAN

Telsa was flung in orbit out past Mars - since then has completed one revolution around Sun

The robot's spaceship just failed its docking attempt. Not the robot's fault.

Well a least Russia is the one being smart here. Send a robot to Mars to see if biological differences is suitable for humans before landing. But, it might look like "Red planet" the movie if the robot goes wrong. What is even more wrong is the robot knows how to build factories. Them we might be in a galactic war against terminators in space.
