                 NASA has made a number of robotic devices to support or substitute astronauts to perform high risk
                 tasks. DARPA is a humanoid robot that can function like humans. Currently R1 and R2 are working
                 as Robonaut. Robonaut 2 or R2 was the first humanoid robot sent to space as a part of STS-133
