Why robots might play a greater role in future interstellar space stations

Distance: A Problem

Future space station missions will require robots in part because to the fact that the stations will be far from Earth. Arrow

NASA has been testing robots called 'Astrobee' which work on the International Space Station.

Astrobee robots can use cameras to navigate around the space station based on a map of the station.

Astrobee takes a few milliseconds to communicate with robots on ISS from Earth.

So, Can robots take over humans?

For now, only humans can handle many mechanical tasks more precisely. So, while robots cannot replace humans in space exploration missions, they could still stand in for humans in certain situations when the need arises.
