Since kids will have seen this on TV, it may be part of the
current popular view of "Robots".. The link is:
http://www.abcnews.go.com/onair/CuttingEdge/wnt_102999_CE_SpaceRobot.html
Short abstract: This Personal Satellite Assistant, or PSA, will hover
in the weightlessness of space. It’s like having a buddy there to help
you out, a virtual crew member. Propelled by tiny fans, the robot
would contain a camera, a small TV screen and arrays of powerful sensors.
It could patrol the space station, monitoring life support, broadcast
what it saw back to the ground, diagnose broken circuits, even
respond to voice commands....
