NASA want to send humanoid robots to help colonise Mars

We could be about to colonise Mars, with the help of robots.

NASA are working with four universities, in Massachusetts and Scotland, on creating human-like robots that will be sent to Mars to set up habitats on the Red Planet ahead of astronauts arriving.

The robot, named Valkyrie, is designed to carry out tasks in environments deadly to humans and in the short term could be sent into disaster areas where human lives would be at risk.
