Japan aims for walking robot on the moon by 2020
QUOTE
TOKYO (AP) — Japan hopes to have a two-legged robot walk on the moon by around 2020, with a joint mission involving astronauts and robots to follow, according to a plan laid out Friday by a government group.


Also, if it is a humanoid machine with artificial intelligence, at what point do we stop saying it is still unmanned space flight?
