This is a mundane job best suited for telerobots

suited for tasks that are too difficult for the
telerobots, for example taking apart and repairing
a digital camera.


From what I read of the NASA Robonaut tests, it appears that they are
presently not a heck of a lot farther along than handing spanner A from
tool tray B to the astronaut, who then tightens nut C on widget D.
