Thought this was interesting. The first robotastronaut is set to go off into space with the Space Shuttle Discovery. The interesting thing...NASA worked with General Motors to develop this robot.

Robonaut 2, or R2, was developed jointly by NASA and General Motors under a cooperative agreement to develop a robotic assistant that can work alongside humans, whether they are astronauts in space or workers at GM manufacturing plants on Earth.
