Russia’s Space-Bound Robot is Definitely Not a Terminator

Russia's Android Technics has been developing a humanoid robot to send into space, it can use keys and tools, screw in light bulbs, drive a car, and shoot guns from both hands.

The process is to help improve the bot's motor skills and decision making. It was originally created for rescue work but military use has been suggested.
