The Dextrous Robotics Laboratory (DRL) at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) has developed a ground-based prototype humanoid robot called "Robonaut." Robonaut has been designed so that it could, for example, assist astronauts during EVA-type tasks. Its initial control has been by tele-operation, but the DRL is beginning to implement several semi-autonomous and fully autonomous controllers for Robonaut, necessitating improved hand-eye coordination for the system.
