'Robonaut' Designed To Perform Spacewalk

Adam Blake writes "CNN reports that NASA has designed a robotic spacewalker called the Robonaut which will perform satellite repairs and other duties typically performed by spacewalking astronauts. It is controlled remotely via a virtual reality interface and bears a small, apparently 'coincidental' resemblance (in the face) to intergalactic bounty hunter Boba Fett."
