Meet The Robonaut R2.

My opinion what is coming in some day in future:
Yes, robots are here and they have been long time already here in car making business. But in NASA there is soon more of these humanoid robots. And maybe after another decade we may have humanoid robots in our everyday life. And i think robots don't take over ever. Like in movies they do (I Robot, Matrix.) If programmers make good code, they will obey it and can't override code. There will be safety protocols and laws what they must obey, and i think they will made remote shutdown systems in them, just to be sure. So robots will be safe unless someone bad guy programmer do own code and benefits skills of the robot he's own bad plans. But there could be security (police) robots too to secure unsecured robots. But everything can be used good and bad, it's up to us. -Over And Out-
ROBONAUT R2
"About a decade ago, two of our favorite government entities, NASA and DARPA, paired off to create the robotic astronaut of the future: Robonaut. He had a cool copper helmet and some faux-muscly arms, but ultimately never made it to space. Now, 10 years on, NASA's back with Robonaut2, created along with General Motors, who hopes to enslave poor R2 in its assembly plants. The details of exactly what has changed in this iteration are slim, but R2 is said to be more dexterous than its predecessor and stronger too, able to lift a 20lb dumbbell without getting all red in the face. It also seems to have lasers in its knuckles for some reason we can't quite figure out, but we're digging the look nevertheless. R2 is said to be helping NASA into a "bold new era of space exploration," and while we don't know exactly when that bold new era begins (now?), we do have a particularly menacing video of the original Robonaut included below, as well as one two of the fit and trim new model."
