Russian robot FEDOR asked to change his name and started a Twitter
Source:
Let us face the truth — robots are getting smarter and will soon Rob us of most of the work. They will be especially useful in space, because unlike people, they almost don't get tired, don't beg for food and stand up beautifully to the radiation and lack of air. The Americans , which helps the astronauts inside the International space station. But do you know what a robot is and Russia? Until recently, he was known as FEDOR, but he later asked the makers to give him another name and got himself a Twitter account. There he talks about what happens to him — for example, right now he is preparing for is scheduled for August 22 flight to the ISS.
The Robot refused to name FEDOR and is now known as Skybot F-850. He tells all that happens to him at the moment. Now the robot signed only on account of the space Corporation to Finance its development, and its leader Dmitry Rogozin. According to Dmitry, to change his name.
Robot Fedor changed the name
In his first message robot FEDOR mentioned (we understand that his account is a person, not a robot?), from now on his name is Skybot F-859. In the next post, he apologized for the mistake and wrote that in fact its serial number is 850. His mistake, he explained that typing during vibration, therefore, missed the right keys and pushed in the wrong direction.
Hello! I Skybot F-859. For her — just Fedor. Now I'm getting acquainted with the vehicle control system «Union MS-14», which plan to fly to 22 August 2019.
— FEDOR (@FEDOR37516789)
Also Skybot F-850 said that he began the study of the control system of the spacecraft "Soyuz MS-14". Just inside his 22 August he will fly to the International space station. To output the ship into orbit will be used rocket "Soyuz-2.1 a" which will be launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome (Kazakhstan). The robot, by the way, has already arrived to the place of blast-off.
Space robot
The Robot Skybot F-850, or FEDOR, is developed by scientific and production Association "Android technology". Work on its creation was started in the distant year 2014, but officially it was presented only two years later. Its appearance it is very similar to a man because he has a head, and even two pairs of arms and legs. The developers assure that, if necessary , the launch of which is scheduled for 2028.
To Control the motion of the robot using the remote control or special exoskeleton — a mechanism could repeat all the movements of the person. This begs the question: if the robot is not yet fully depends on people and not know how to do anything on their own, how could he ask to change his name and start a Twitter? Of course, all this is just a way to attract the robot's attention, but would be better if the developers were surprised people with its ability to do the job. In the end, even the robots, Amazon can , and serious space robot for exploring the moon at the moment, no human support is not even able to walk.
Inside the International space station astronauts will check what can be useful this robot. In the future it wants to send to the moon, but before that the developers need to equip it with artificial intelligence so he can understand what and how to do specific tasks. For example, he will have to manage the previously mentioned lunar Rover "Moon-29" and to help . It is only in the plans, but for today robot even .
What have the United States?
The Space Agency NASA too . Unlike the Russian, he has no metal parts and is an inflatable figure of a man. He is called King Louie ("King Louis") and moves their hands and feet by supplying air into inflatable bags, of which it is composed.
Robot King Louie
The Developers believe that the inflatable robot has at least two advantages over analogs. First, it is made of cloth and rubber, so it is much cheaper than metal robots with a bunch of electronics. Second, thanks to its softness it can't accidentally hurt people. It is possible that in the future these robots will be used in space stations.
This is interesting: a Trip to the ISS for $ 52 million.
