Kanye West isn't the only celebrity that joined Twitter this week.

NASA's Robonaut 2, or R2, is getting ready to work on the International Space Station in November but it's already tweeting about preparations under the account, @AstroRobonaut.

The humanoid robot — complete with a head, arms and an upper torso — will be the first dexterous humanoid robot in space and it assures its followers that 2001: A Space Odyssey will not happen by tweeting, "No, no relation to Hal. Don't know if I'd want to admit to having him on my family tree if I was. [Definately] don't condone his actions." It also tweeted that it's not related to Boba Fett.

NASA will be studying R2 to see how humanoid robots behave in space with the ultimate goal of developing a robot that can help with routine tasks inside and outside the space station and do jobs that are too dangerous for astronauts.
