According to the Voice of Russia website, the SAR-401 is on display at the Gagarin Astronaut Training Center in the Star City Center, just outside Moscow. This robot will be controlled remotely through a special glove.

A Russian scientist has practiced the glove, and he can control the behavior of the arm and the robot. This will help the SAR - 401 do the work that needs refinement and meticulous.

The SAR-401 can lift up to 10kg of mass on Earth, but that number can increase in space-less gravity. This robot is capable of working both inside and outside the space station.

The SAR - 401 is made by Android Technics, said Vladislav Sychkov, the company 's chief executive. "We have completed the R & D technology to develop the robot' s versatility. It operates on three levels of freedom, moves through a car-like structure and has a balance system, all of which create a multi-functional robot that operates in space. "

"The SAR - 401 robot is responsible for carrying out ISS and outer space operations," said Oleg Gordiyenko, the deputy director of science at the Gagarin astronauts' center . will open up many promises for future research. "

The older SAR-401 model, the SAR-400, is also expected to be used in space by 2014.
