NASA will launch the first human-like robot to space later this year
to become a permanent resident of the International Space Station.
Robonaut 2, or R2, was developed jointly by NASA and General Motors
under a cooperative agreement to develop a robotic assistant that can
work alongside humans, whether they be astronauts in space or workers
at GM manufacturing plants on Earth.

General Motors was involved in it? No wonder it didn't work.
