Approximately 1,400 middle schoolers will explore the universe with research-grade robotic telescopes over the next three years, thanks to a $1.6 million program funded by the National Science Foundation. The University of Chicago will lead the effort, in partnership with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, W.Va.; the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and 4-H.
Next-generation unmanned ships could be armed with missiles but it's not yet certain when such systems could be operationally-deployed.
Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the real-time infrastructure software company, today announced that RTI Connext™ Micro is undergoing certification for flight safety-critical systems. RTI will develop full certification evidence for the highest safety standard, DO-178C Level A. Early applications of the certifiable RTI Connext™ Micro include the U.S. Government's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Control Segment (UCS) project.
In a timely and innovative move, the University of North Dakota (UND)—offering the nation's first and only fully accredited undergraduate degree in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operations—has formed the nation's first UAS Research Compliance Committee in anticipation of federal plans to regulate related privacy issues.
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) successfully have used an experimental version of interplanetary Internet to control an educational rover from the International Space Station. The experiment used NASA's Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) protocol to transmit messages and demonstrate technology that one day may enable Internet-like communications with space vehicles and support habitats or infrastructure on another planet.
Months of dedication and hard work in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) paid off tonight for three students named National Finalists in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology, the nation's premier research competition.
NASA's car-sized rover, Curiosity, has taken significant steps toward understanding how Mars may have lost much of its original atmosphere.
For starters, here are three things you probably don’t know about the latest Mars rover, the car-sized rover that landed on the red planet in August:
Cornell researchers have created an autonomous flying robot that is as smart as a bird when it comes to maneuvering around obstacles.
Robotics AlleyTM, a robotics industry public-private initiative based in Minnesota, has unveiled the world’s first searchable, crowdsourced map of the booming global robotics industry. Already populated with more than 1,300 robotics-related organizations from around the world, TheRoboticsMap.com integrates best practices from open-source intelligence gathering and crowdsourcing to build a flexible, ever-expanding map of robotics organizations, including manufacturers, suppliers, research organizations and university robotics departments.
