According to Izvestia, Russia has successfully designed and manufactured "the astronaut robot" shape people (SAR-400) capable of working in orbit. In two years, robots will be posted on the ISS, and in the future is on the Moon, Mars and other planets.

SAR-400 repeat all the movements of the operator and can not perform simple tasks such as mechanical screw, international chess, check for cracks crust. However, the astronauts do not doubt that robots can not replace the human.

The cosmonauts Sergei Avdeev said: "The most important advantage is the ability of man to know the world around them. Do not have any machines that do that ". He noted that the robot will need in the universe.

Avdeev explained: "The nature of the robot is important, to control it does not need to model the operation of machinery and other structures. It works just like people in similar circumstances. That is not needed to calculate the movement, can be just as simple as you would normally. "
SAR-400 to the ISS with Russian astronauts in 2014.

According to him, 11/2011, SAR-400 has been tested at the center trained astronauts in Star City, the driver had been using it to screw, flip open the copy ISS Russian model on the ground, working with a combination of training, where the future astronaut training came out of space.

Also recognized as ISS Avdeev for this robot is the transition period: "There are more interesting tasks assisting the astronauts on the ISS more. So I took the robot to the station is a test. "

The commander of the manned program of scientific research institutes central machine (TsNIIMash) Oleg Saprykin Roscosmos of said robot SAR-400 is the first Russian space for 20 years.

Saprykin explained: "The robot was built for ships as shuttle Buran and Mir space stations. There are no products to be included in the universe. Since that did not have any more work. This is the first test to create a robot in space. "

He added, on the ISS have used the structure of automation, but to do the job-related criteria to move objects or goods. The Americans were the first to introduce robot shaped like a human, robot astronauts on the ISS, but this robot "live" in the module of the Americans and actually not being used. After some time the space has found robot has some problems in control systems.

In addition, the Japanese are trying to put up ISS robot Asimo, the robot will be talking and relieve the psychological pressure for its fleet. In addition, the Germans were doing Justin robot to work in the universe.

The leader of the Union Moscow division of scientific production NPO "technique which looks more like a robot," the agency has designed SAR-400 by order of Roscosmos said Andrei Nosov, unlike the study of the West, Russia is characterized robot is capable of moving to the driver not only images and sound, but all the senses including touch.

Nosov, explained: "This robot uses special technology, it transmits the pressure that affects the surface of the robot glove. The robot controller through could actually feel the surface. That feeling can not achieve. "

He added that this principle will be used when studying other planets through the driver-type sweat shirt and a special robotic arm will use the robot, and robot through the camera, microphone and sensor (sensor) will transfer the image onto the image from the glasses, the sound on headphones, but the sense of touch up gloves.

Nosov added: "Actually, we do not think the signal would look like. From Earth to the Moon light goes off 5 seconds to Mars is 15 minutes. But we are studying this problem. "

According to Nosov, to work in remote areas where there are communication difficulties will use microcomputer programs using super tech feel, get this robot or motion vectors are assigned, itself will also decide how to accomplish that task. In addition, the "brains" of the robot which looks more like people would be to install the program automatically work in many different modes.

Dmitry Medvedev had "communication" with his predecessor in the SAR-400 12/2008 at a meeting the first Russian youth. When that president has promised to spend on technology areas new billions of Ru. However, Medvedev also noted that he was waiting for "the corresponding appropriate response."
