Robonaut 2 can use EVA tools and is capable of speeds 4 times that of R1.
R2 is more compact and dexterous and includes more ranges of sensing than R1.

R2 uses elastic joint technology, 6-axis load cells, ultra-high speed controllers, and has more powerful sensing capabilities than R1 (see #2 below).
R2’s new features allows it to use the same tools astronauts use and removes the necessity for new, robot-specific tools.
