Did y'all know there is a 7 ft robot on space station doing maid work.

It is true.
I saw the top half of the robot at an comic convention last weekend in Houston.
NASA was there.
The robot had human type fingers.
You can read about it on the NASA website.
The robot's head is really cool.
Something different to talk about besides Trump.

I wish there would have been a full working robot.

The fingers are like human fingers.

There is a NASA channel on youtube.

The robot is called Robonaut 2.
