NASA’s Robonaut to Return to Space Station With Legs Attached

NASA has fixed Robonaut and is nearly ready to send it back to the International Space Station

A little over a year ago, we reported on the status of the Robonaut 2 on the International Space Station. Things had not gone all that well for R2 ever since an attempt had been made to install a pair of legs back in 2014, leading to an intermittent power problem that was very hard to diagnose. NASA brought Robonaut back to Earth last year for repairs, and a few weeks ago, we stopped by NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, to visit the Robonaut lab and get an update on what’s been happening with R2.
