Ural engineers presented a centaur robot for the Lunar program in Star City

The purpose of the robot is to assist astronauts in participating in the Lunar program. The centaur consists of three parts: an anthropomorphic part, a wheeled platform, and a drone. Each of them can be set in motion separately from each other.

The centaur in space can be controlled from Earth using a VR headset (virtual reality headset) and an exoskeleton. The operator sees the image transmitted by the robot and can imitate actions, which the android then reproduces.

NPO "Android Technics" is one of the leaders in the robotics cluster. Among the implemented projects are Fedor, launched on the ISS, an anthropomorphic rescue robot for working in emergency situations, the "Marker" robotic platform (used by the Russian military), and the "Canyon" project (an automatic manipulator for performing tasks in areas with increased radiation).

It was previously reported that the VDNKh exhibition in Moscow showcased the "Ardi" robot, which can talk and mimic human emotions.
