From The Space Library

Jump to: navigation, search

In the past, robots did things humans couldn't, such as going to different planets in the solar system. They still do that work today, but they also help humans. Robots on the International Space Station (ISS), for example, help the astronauts move and install the larger pieces of the Space Station. Robots helping astronauts is the way of the future. Humans need to be there to do what humans do best—think and respond. Robots, on the other hand will always be needed to help humans do dangerous or boring work.
