Overview
Justin, also known as Rollin' Justin, is an autonomous and programmable humanoid robot with two arms, developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, located in Wessling, Germany. Introduced in 2009, this wireless robot is controllable through telepresence, allowing operation from remote locations. Justin can be mounted on satellites and perform various tasks on Earth.
