India wants to send this "half humanoid" robot into space

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has unveiled a legless robot called "Voymmitra" that it wants to send into space on an uncrewed mission later this year. The eerily humanoid robot can reportedly speak two languages, according to Business Insider. "Vyommitra will simulate human functions, will interact with the environmental control and life-support system," ISRO chairman K Sivan told the Times of India. "Our robot is like a human, and will be able to do what man can do, although not as extensively," Sivan added. First half humanoid that will be a part of @isro Gaganyaan unmanned mission.
