Justin is a German
humanoid robot created at the
Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics in Wessling, Germany.
The robot comes in several versions, including one particularly intended for space with super easy to use arms and hands, a head and a torso.
The aim of Justin is to go and repair satellites in space.
The humanoid can be controlled remotely from Earth with a similar telepresence exoskeleton that a human wears.
The advantage of this method is that the operator sees in real time what the robot does (thanks to two cameras) which gives much more precision in movement.
