Disney and Lucasfilm released today the second episode of their new digital series Science and Star Wars, which explores how close real-world science has come to our favorite Star Wars technology. Today’s episode answers the question: Are helper droids like R2D2 and BB8 in our not-so-distant future?
This ‘droid’ episode features:
- Robonaut – a robot astronaut: Meet a droid whose purpose will be to one day command spaceships with no humans on board.
- Star Wars droid builders construct a droid: Michael McMaster, Mike Senna, two of the real-life engineers who help Disney and Lucasfilm build and maintain the droids from the film, create a smart robot who answers Star Wars trivia intelligently.
