Space exploration relies heavily on robotics. At this point anything further away than the moon is strictly the domain of the robots and even when that changes the robots will still be a crucial component to the success of manned space exploration.
The Mars Science Laboratory, scheduled to launch in the fall of this year, is a neat example of what robotics can do. The primary goal of this mission is to assess the habitability of the planet. The following video is a cool animation done by NASA that shows the landing procedure along with some of the capabilities of the robot.
I realize this is an extremely brief look at robotics in space but I hope to be able to go more in depth for future posts.
Again, I like the wider focus of the blog now--it's great that you can take a look at these different applications. It will be interesting to see how funding cuts to NASA will affect things like robotics research.
ReplyDeleteWorthful Robotic Process Automation Tutorial. Appreciate a lot for taking up the pain to write such a quality content on Robotic Process Automation. Just now I watched this similar Robotic Process Automation and I think this will enhance the knowledge of other visitors for sure. Thanks anyway.:-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0oC6NKEPgQ
