Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency, is preparing to launch a human-shaped robot to the International Space Station.

If this face looks familiar to you, the photo below will remind you of an event that is both funny and disturbing.

Fedor’s movements are modeled after the activities of a remote system operator, and Fedor also has low-level autonomy.

Before serving as a frontrunner for the Moon mission, Fedor will undergo a short training period on the ISS.

When he reaches the ISS, Fedor will join the team of Russian astronauts in space, conducting tests on a `humanoid system designed to operate in space`.

In an interview with Sputnik News, Roscosmos scientific advisor Alexander Bloshenko said that Fedor also has the ability to chat with the crew.

“It can provide clarification in a conversation, answer certain types of questions: it can say hello, talk about its creators, and even end the conversation.

According to Bloshenko, Fedor’s `brain` has several algorithms to ensure the safety of those present on the ISS station, that the robot cannot swing its arms and legs too much to affect other people or equipment on board.

The impressive pace of development in robotics and space will soon give us real-life Interstellar, a future that allows a pair of humans and robots to embark on journeys.
