During the week of December 8th, 2010, Robonaut 2 traveled to Michigan for a series of media events and demonstrations at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren.

Here we are at the GM R&D Center demonstrating its firm but gentle handshaking and camera posing behaviours.

In addition, interactive sessions were organized for FIRST Robotics Teams.

JSC2010-E-089924 (10 June 2010) — Robonaut 2, a dexterous, humanoid astronaut helper, will fly to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Discovery on the STS-133 mission. Although it will initially only participate in operational tests, upgrades could eventually allow the robot to realize its true purpose — helping spacewalking astronauts with tasks outside the space station. Note the NASA and GM logos in the robot chest.
