FEDOR, colloquially known as Fyodor the robot (Russian: робот "Фёдор"), is a Russian humanoid robot that replicates movements of a remote operator and can perform some actions autonomously.[1] Originally intended for rescue operations, it was sent on an experimental mission to the International Space Station in 2019.[2] FEDOR is an acronym for "Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research" and a hint to the Russian male given name Fyodor (Фёдор) when transliterated without diacritics.[3]
The robot, originally called Avatar, was funded by the Ministry of Emergency Situations and intended for rescue operations but its role was later expanded to include space missions.[4] The new name, FEDOR, was announced in 2017 by then Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.[5] FEDOR is intended to be a platform for development of a series of robots, although the first model was often called FEDOR in news media.[6]
In April 2017, a video of FEDOR shooting guns caused a media alarm.[7] Rogozin insisted Russia was not creating a Terminator.[7] After the video was posted, one of the parts suppliers cancelled their relationship with the project.[5]
On 22 August 2019, a FEDOR robot was launched on Soyuz MS-14 to the International Space Station. The plan was for the robot to spend a week and a half aboard the orbital outpost.[8] The model going to space was given the name Skybot F-850.[9]
On 24 August 2019, the Soyuz failed to dock as scheduled with the station, due to a fault with its rendezvous system.[10]
On 27 August 2019, it successfully docked with the Zvezda module of the station.[11]
On 30 August 2019, FEDOR successfully matched plug connectors while weightless, simulating the repair of cables on the station's exterior surface during a spacewalk.[12]
On 6 September 2019, the reentry capsule of the Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft, with FEDOR on board but no crew, landed in the designated area in the steppes of Kazakhstan, south-east of the city of Zhezkazghan.[13]·[14]·[15]
On 11 September 2019, "Russian robot Fedor cannot fulfill his mission to replace human astronauts on space walks", Yevgeny Dudorov, executive director of robot developers Androidnaya Tekhnika said.[16]·[17]
On 14 December 2019, Russia's Androidnaya Tekhnika [18] and Japan's GITAI[19] startup plan to create a robot to operate on the lunar surface, the Russian company's executive director, Yevgeny Dudorov, told TASS.[20]
