    The first humanoid robot ever launched into space is finally free. Astronauts at the International Space Station unpacked Robonaut on Tuesday, 2 1/2 weeks after its arrival via shuttle Discovery. NASA broadcast the humorous unveiling ceremony Wednesday. American Catherine Coleman and Italian Paolo Nespoli pried off the lid of the robot's packing box, as though they were opening a coffin. TV cameras showed lots of foam inside, but no robot. "It's like unearthing a mummy," radioed a payload controller at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. "Well, at least the mummy would be here," Coleman replied. "We just have an empty box where Robonaut is supposed to be." Robonaut also known as R2 was spotted a minute later in front of a work station.
