Robotics Helping Humans During Exo-Planetary Missions

NASA is currently looking for ways to expand the scope of robotics in space. Their current plans include robotic engines, probes, fueling depots, and a humanoid helper robot. These robotic projects are expected to help NASA increase it's scope of operations. The robots may be instrumental in an asteroid visit or mars landing.

Below is a humanoid robot, Robonaut2 (R2), which may eventually be found on the International Space Station (ISS).

Below is the robotic X-37 space plane. This plane will be capable of operating in earth's orbit for an unspecified amount of time and return for a landing on earth.
