NASAs new astronaut-replacing robots, powered by Google Tango smartphones, launch into space this week

2014-07-09 12:45:56| Extremetech

First robots stole our jobs here on Earth -- and now Google and NASA want to do the same to our astronauts.

In the future, the SPHERES robots could even perform risky tasks outside the ISS in the deep, dark, never-ending expanse.
