美国宇航局开始的挑战，建立一个机器人进行组装，维护，并在太空环境中进行诊断工作。一个人形机器人被选为完成这一使命的最佳手段。我们的目标不是建造一台看起来像人类的机器，而是建造一个可以做同样工作的系统。Robonaut可以插入现有的太空环境，为宇航员群体设计，并能够使用相同的工具执行许多相同的任务，并使用相同的界面。Robonaut没有改变这个世界来适应机器人，而是接受它是为人类而存在的，并且必须符合它。虽然如果所有的界面都可以改变的话，建造一个机器人会更容易，但这并不是目前太空的现实，美国宇航局已经投资了数十亿美元建造航天飞机和国际空间站等航天器。不可能回到过去，重新设计这些系统以适应完全自动化，但可以建造一个适应它们的机器人。本文描述了NASA命名为Robonaut的设计过程和最终解决方案。
NASA began with the challenge of building a robot fo r doing assembly, maintenance, and diagnostic work in the Og environment of space. A robot with human form was then chosen as the best means of achieving that mission. The goal was not to build a machine to look like a human, but rather, to build a system that could do the same work. Robonaut could be inserted into the existing space environment, designed for a population of astronauts, and be able to perform many of the same tasks, with the same tools, and use the same interfaces. Rather than change that world to accommodate the robot, instead Robonaut accepts that it exists for humans, and must conform to it. While it would be easier to build a robot if all the interfaces could be changed, this is not the reality of space at present, where NASA has invested billions of dollars building spacecraft like the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. It is not possible to go back in time, and redesign those systems to accommodate full automation, but a robot can be built that adapts to them. This paper describes that design process, and the res ultant solution, that NASA has named Robonaut.
