Robonaut
The first humanoid robot in space was sent to the space station with the
intention of eventually taking over tasks too dangerous or mundane for
astronauts, and the first such task identified for it was monitoring air
velocity. Astronauts onboard the space station generally have to
measure the air flow in front of vents inside the station to ensure that
none of the ventilation ductwork gets clogged or blocked. The task
involves holding a gauge in front of vents in five different locations
on the station and taking several measurements of the air flow every 90
days or so.
