We had the chance to be part of the FIRST Robotics event which was held in Montreal earlier this month. This year, the competition's theme was "Destination: Deep Space". Here is a recap of the event.
Today, space robots are a reality, and they help scientists and aerospace engineers explore the Solar System -- something humans just can't do. And things are just getting started. As technology develops, there are endless possibilities for space robots in the future.
NASA's Mars Opportunity Rover, launched July 7, 2003 and initially intended to last 90 days, is finally over. You did an outstanding job!
NASA in on a "Journey to Mars". According to the space agency, we should see the first humans landing on Mars by 2033. Along this journey, NASA is planning to send robots to prepare the big landing. In 2013, NASA unveiled four sister robots which are the first of&nb…
2020 Mars Rover Robotic missions to mars have been highly successful. So far, Sojourner, Spirit and Curiosity are roving the red planet and conducting experiments, but why stop there? NASA is already planning their 2020 mission. Based on Curiosity's success, they are planning on sending out a ve…
Curiosity on Mars The Mars Curiosity Mission is by far one of the most important robotic achievements of all times. Today, we got the first 360 degrees panorama from the rover and it is quite stunning. See it for yourself over at 360cities.net. Needless to say, NASA is very proud of their achi
It has been years in the making; hundreds of engineers and scientists and debate after debate of where and how to land - but the rover Curiosity has finally touched down and is working properly. Image from Curiosity - Courtesy of JPL The rover, equipped with not only a multitude of cameras (1…
Not many robots enjoy full autonomy; humans often prefer to supervise them and make sure they are doing their job right. However, there are some situations where direct supervision is impossible. For instance, when sending robots to explore space, the communication latency increases as they get far…
As you might remember, Robonaut 2 was sent to the ISS a few weeks ago. As shown in the video below, the human astronauts had a big surprise when they finally opened the storage crate that contains the humanoid robot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hkagxtiy1-M It seems the naughty robot got o
