Russian robot "Fedor" can go to the ISS
As it became known the day before, the brainchild of the Android technique"- a humanoid robot named Fedor (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research), will soon find worthy application. Initially, the "mechanical assistant" was created by order of the Ministry of Emergencies, but later the department had to postpone the use of such technologies for an indefinite period.
The multifunctional FEDOR, in addition to all its advantages, has become the first humanoid robot in the world that can sit on a string and shoot with a pistol. By the way, due to the second skill, foreign companies refused to supply components. Therefore, the invention of the NPO Android Technique uses exclusively domestic spare parts.
Earlier it became known that Roscosmos plans to send an unmanned Soyuz MS to the ISS with two robots on board this year. And just "Fedor" is perfect for this mission. According to E. Dudorov, Executive Director of the Android Technology NGO, the preliminary “fitting” was a success. The robot was seated in the central command chair of the spacecraft, and next to it, as it turned out, it is still possible to place a payload for sending to the ISS.
Dudorov also clarified that if Fedor was approved for the role of a “pilot,” the latter would have to undergo additional tests on a vibration bench. The final decision of Roskosmos should be announced the other day.
