JSC2010-E-106309 (28 June 2010) --- During a training session in the space vehicle mockup facility at the Johnson Space Center, the STS-133 crew is pictured with its seventh crew member ? Robonaut 2, the first humanoid robot to travel to space and the first U.S.-built robot to visit the space station. R2, as the robot is called, will stay on the space station indefinitely to allow engineers on the ground to learn more about how humanoid robots fare in microgravity. The STS-133 crew members are: (clockwise from the top) NASA astronauts Steve Lindsey, commander; Alvin Drew, Nicole Stott and Tim Kopra, all mission specialists, along with Eric Boe, pilot, and Mike Barratt, mission specialist.
