You may have seen the Atlas robot from Boston Dynamics, but did you know that Russian robotics engineers have come up with their own humanoid robot? This is FEDOR the android robot that can drive, saw, drill, weld, use keys to open locks, and even put out a fire with an extinguisher. FEDOR, which stands for Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research, was designed and tested by the Fund of Prospective Research in Moscow and may be the first robot sent to work in space. FEDOR's secret specialty is that, apart from being able to function autonomously, he can also be controlled by a human from an avatar suit. A human operator can transmit movements to the robot for especially delicate procedures, such as turning a key in a lock. The FEDOR project was started in 2014. The cyborg was originally conceived as a rescue robot. However, as the project developed, engineers announced that the machine could be used in various environments and potentially for military purposes and education. It's reported that Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin saw the project and decided that FEDOR is the perfect candidate to be the first Russian robot to be sent to work in space on the International Space Station.
