When Robonaut 2 (R2) arrives it will be the first humanoid robot in space. Once R2 is unpacked, likely several months after it arrives, it will be initially operated inside the Destiny laboratory for operational testing, but over time, both its territory and its applications could expand to spacewalks. There are no plans to return R2 to Earth and it may be joined by a Japanese Robonaut in 2013.
