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 the next generation of robot
Ja zeker zijn de robots van essentieel belang eerst de {Human} robots daarna pas de mens voor verkenning.
{Yes sure the robots essential first {the} human robots only then the man for exploration.}
Yes, robots are going to play an essential role with future space exploration, but if they cannot put systems in place that will allow remote control of the robots, they are only asking for troubles that can be avoided by simply putting hardware in place that will allow remote controlling the robots from earth! A chain of satellites or some other form of equipment that will allow direct and instantaneous communication from earth will be absolutely inevitable prior to sending humans to Mars! Imagine just how long a 3 minute delay can be in a life-threatening situation could be, let alone 20 minutes…! We would look like unprepared fools if we sent humans to Mars before correcting any communication delays whatsoever! If we’re going to do this, then let’s get it right the first time and not wind up over looking something as critical as communication delay between planets!! It doesn’t have to be an issue at all!
Even using ‘light signals’ {Lasers of some kind} there will still be an electronically significant and troublesome delay. [the difference between it going over a cliff or not] so some ‘self preservation’ software that will not be a threat to the people that will follow it will be paramount ! This is becoming less complicated, but not yet simple enough for a practical “THE THREE LAWS OF ROBOTICS” application.
