Detailed explanation-1: -What is the author implying by the allusion to Armstrong’s statement in paragraph 3? Like Armstrong’s Moon landing, the launch of the first Robonaut aboard the Discovery represents a historic breakthrough in space exploration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Robonaut is a NASA robot. Engineers designed Robonaut to be humanoid, which means it is built to look like a person. This makes it easier for Robonaut to do the same jobs as a person.
Detailed explanation-3: -The value of a humanoid over other designs is the ability to use the same workspace and tools-not only does this improve efficiency in the types of tools, but also removes the need for specialized robotic connectors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Robonaut has a head, torso, arms and hands like a person. Cameras in the head provide vision. Robonaut is called a dexterous robot because its hands and fingers move like a person’s. So Robonaut can perform tasks designed to be done by human hands.
