Spacecraft with Russian humanoid robot docks at Intl Space Station

MOSCOW - An unmanned spacecraft carrying Russia's first humanoid robot to be sent into orbit docked at the International Space Station, or ISS, on Tuesday, following a failed attempt over the weekend, according to the Russian State Space Corporation Roscosmos.

The life-size robot called Fedor copies human movements and can help astronauts carry out tasks remotely.

"Contact confirmed, capture confirmed," a NASA commentator announced, while a statement on the website of Roscosmos also said the Soyuz MS-14 craft had managed to dock.
