ISRO unveils 'Vyommitra', its first half-humanoid to be sent into space

ISRO has unveiled a prototype of the half-humanoid, named Vyommitra, that will soon be sent into space. The humanoid can operate switches, receive voice commands, respond via speech, can speak in two languages and can lip-sync to speech. "It'll try to simulate a human and report back to us. We're doing this as an experiment," ISRO scientist Sam Dayal said.
