NASA's Robonaut to Return to Space Station With Legs Attached

A little over a year ago, we reported on the status of the Robonaut 2 on the International Space Station. Things had not gone all that well for R2 ever since an attempt had been made to install a pair of legs back in 2014, leading to an intermittent power problem that was very hard to diagnose. NASA brought Robonaut back to Earth last year for repairs, and a few weeks ago, we stopped by NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, to visit the Robonaut lab and get an update on what's been happening with R2. The Robonaut lab is in Building 9 at JSC, attached to the space vehicle mockup facility. JSC's Valkyrie lives in this massive high bay, and was busy practicing a bomb disposal task (!) when we peeked in.
