Int-Ball (aka the unbearably cute space robot!)

in #science7 years ago

This is a video of the Japanese's latest robot now aboard the ISS. It was built by a company called Jaxa and it hitched a ride on one of the recent SpaceX Dragon launches. Apparently it's some sort of camera designed specifically for zero-g to allow the Astronauts to pilot around the interior of Station remotely.

Like any experimental tech, I'm not sure how useful that will end up being, but damn. Japan really is the master of making inanimate objects ridiculously cute!
