Robonaut and astronaut C014 / 4703
Robonaut and astronaut. Hand of a Robonaut and a spacesuit-gloved human hand extended towards each other to demonstrate the collaboration between robots and humans in space. In 2011 Robonaut 2 (R2) became the first humanoid robot in space. NASA and GM (General Motors) are now developing a robotic glove that automotive workers and astronauts can wear to perform their respective jobs, while reducing the risk of repetitive stress injuries. Officially, its called the Human Grasp Assist device, but generally its called the K-Glove or Robo-Glove

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable collaboration between robots and humans in the vastness of space. In this image, we witness a profound moment as the hand of a Robonaut and a spacesuit-gloved human hand reach out towards each other, symbolizing the harmonious partnership that exists between man and machine. In 2011, history was made when Robonaut 2 (R2) became the first humanoid robot to venture into space. This groundbreaking achievement paved the way for further advancements in technology and engineering. Now, NASA and General Motors (GM) are taking this collaboration even further by developing an extraordinary robotic glove known as the Human Grasp Assist device or K-Glove. The K-Glove is not only designed to assist automotive workers but also astronauts during their respective tasks while minimizing repetitive stress injuries. Its innovative design combines cutting-edge technology with futuristic concepts, enabling individuals to perform intricate tasks with precision and ease. As we delve deeper into the 21st century, it becomes increasingly evident that robotics has become an integral part of our lives. The applications of these technological marvels extend far beyond what we could have imagined before. From exploring distant galaxies to revolutionizing industries such as automotive manufacturing, robots like Robonaut are at the forefront of shaping our future. This awe-inspiring photograph encapsulates both hope and excitement for what lies ahead in space exploration and technological advancements. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of innovation while reminding us that together with machines, we can achieve greatness
