Astronauts Build Massive Robot 'Dextre'

This photo made from NASA TV shows shuttle astronauts Richard Linnehan and Michael Foreman outside the international space station as they work on putting together Dextre, the gigantic walking and working machine on Saturday March 15, 2008. The robot's hands were attached to its 11-foot arms during the first spacewalk of Endeavour's space station trip. This time, astronauts aimed to connect the arms to the shoulders. The Canadian-built Dextre, which cost more than $200 million and was flown up on Endeavour, is designed to assist spacewalking astronauts. The hope is that the robot eventually will take over some of the more punishing chores, like lugging around big replacement parts. (AP Photo/NASA)

Astronauts finish installing maintenance robot to space station

Washington - Two astronauts Tuesday completed the third spacewalk of the latest shuttle mission to the International Space Station, putting the finishing touches on a Canadian-built, double-armed robot. Rick Linnehan and Robert Behnken worked for nearly seven hours to equip the robot with tools and spare parts before Dextre, as the robot is called, begins to help astronauts with their spacewalks and takes over some maintenance and service work on the expanding space station.

Shuttle astronauts to assemble monstrous two-armed robot at space station

The Canadian Space Agency’s ‘Dextre’ is a space-age robot with two arms, about to blast off into space Tuesday, accompanying the seven astronauts on Endeavour. They will need to assemble Dextre in space, and attach him to the outside of the space station. Although astronauts say Dextre looks scary, without artificial intelligence ‘he’ will be controlled remotely and will be taking over some of the work that they used to do in dangerous outdoor conditions

Dextre, the Armed DIY Robot, Ready to Man Space Station

astronauts start installation today on the latest of several new permanent fixtures aboard the International Space Station, but this one's cooler: a massive, two-armed robot called the Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator, or Dextre for short. After four days of high-wire assembly, Dextre will be ready for action—loading and unloading different objects, manipulating and detaching cover panels outside the ISS.
