This bizarre robot of NASA is being auctioned for $ 80,000

If you have excess money, don't miss the opportunity to own this historic item!

When setting up astronaut suits for NASA astronauts, researchers of the 1960s needed a volunteer to try out. And from that demand, this weird robot was "born".

During the preparations for the historic Lunar voyage, NASA created or a strange (and a little scary) looking robot for testing. Great news: you can buy one of the two frightening, weird robots home to display, in the auction this month in Boston.

This robot is designed by NASA to look a bit eccentric.

Even though this robot loses an arm and crashes a few wires, its historical value has pushed the price up to $ 80,000. On September 26, it will be auctioned, while the other is now owned by the Smithsonian National Space and Space Museum.

The two robots weigh 104kg, have an adjustable height, ranging from 1.6 meters to 1.9 meters. They can simulate 35 basic human movements, and are installed with a shaft sensor system at each joint, to help researchers consider the pressure of the space suit. most accurately.

The outer shell of the robot is covered with a 0.8-millimeter thick "leather" layer, with gaps to allow for easy operation. The robot face is covered by a glass layer so that researchers can easily access parts of the circuit and wires inside.

This robot can simulate 35 basic human movements.

Inside the robot are 35 oil-operated joints, allowing it to mimic human movement with the most accurate force. Besides, the sensors placed on it can measure the force exerted on the clothes. A fully equipped robot to make a great test object.

Although fully designed and comprehensive (to test the suit), when it comes to practice, things are not as good as it should be. The hydraulic system could not create enough pressure to move the robot without it leaking oil, the scientists stuck to this problem.

Then NASA came to a decision not to resolve any more, to spend capital on other things, but more or less, these two robots still marked an important milestone in the creation of researchers at that time.

Now it is being auctioned for up to 4 numbers: $ 80,000, besides some other NASA-related items such as a secretary by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, the deal about what they will say What on the Moon. Another is the guest book of honor of the Nixon presidency, signed by the entire Apolo 11 crew when they return.

The online auction session will begin on September 15 and the live auction will take place on September 26, if you have a few hundred thousand dollars in excess, don't miss this historic valuable robot.
