The two human astronauts make funny video for Robonaut 2, :D it's seems robonauts 2 is naughty robot and got out of the box by it self.. lol.

Robonaut 2 Jobs in Space.
The main job of robonaut 2 is teaching engineers how dexterous robots behave in space, the hope is that through upgrades and advancements, it could one day venture outside the station to help spacewalkers make repairs or additions to the station or perform scientific work.
Robonaut 2 launched inside the Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module, which was packed with supplies and equipment for the station and then installed permanently on the Unity node. R2 will initially be operated inside the Destiny laboratory for operational testing, but over time both its territory and its applications could expand. There are no plans to return R2 to Earth. Pity R2 :D
