Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying first humanoid robot departs Space Station
A Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying the country's first humanoid robot in space successfully departed the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday.
The robot arrived at the ISS two weeks ago to support the crew and test his skills.
Known as FEDOR, which stands for Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research, the Skybot F-850 is the first humanoid robot to be sent to space by Russia. NASA sent humanoid robot Robonaut 2 to space in 2011 to work in hazardous environments.
FEDOR, who is the size an adult and can emulate movements of the human body, has apparently embraced his mission, describing himself as "an assistant to the ISS crew" on his Twitter page, which has 4,600 followers.
