This week MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) received an unusual package: a six-foot-tall, 300-pound humanoid robot that NASA hopes to have serve on future space missions to Mars and beyond.
A team of researchers will program their new "Valkyrie" robot to autonomously perform a variety of challenging tasks that would allow it to help or even replace astronauts on missions.
