Hopping, tumbling and flipping over are not typical maneuvers you would expect from a spacecraft exploring other worlds. Traditional Mars rovers, for example, roll around on wheels, and they can't operate upside-down. But on a small body, such as an asteroid or a comet, the low-gravity conditions and rough surfaces make traditional driving all the more hazardous.
New robot has crown-of-thorns starfish in its sights It's the robot that has the scourge of the Great Barrier Reef in its sights. QUT roboticists have developed the world's first robot designed to seek out and control the Great Barrier Reef's crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS), which are responsible for an estimated 40 per cent of the reef's total decline in coral cover. The COTSbot completed its first sea trials this week in Queensland's Moreton Bay to test its mechanical parts and navigation system.
