Space robot

The Indian Space Research Organisation has unveiled a robot named Vyom Mitra that will travel to space as a part of a mission called Gaganyan. The half-humanoid robot, whose name translates as « space friend » will be able to communicate with astronauts, recognise them, and also respond to their queries. While she doesn’t have legs and can only move sideward and forward, she can detect and give out warnings if environmental changes within the cabin get uncomfortable for astronauts.
