DLR Robonots to Repair Satellites

DLR's German Aerospace Center has developed a telepresence robot to repair satellites in space. About the size of a human, Justin has extremely sensitive fingers and stereoscopic vision to accomplish this. The head of the project, Alin Albu-Schaffer, sees a future that teams the humans and robonauts together. Although there is no target date for launch, it gives some lucky controllers the chance to vicariously hang out in space.
