As people reflect on the 9/11 terrorist attacks after a decade NASA reminded them that the Mars Rovers carried an interplanetary memorial with them to the red planet. Two aluminum shields were fashioned out of metal that was salvaged from the pieces of the fallen World Trade Center and dispatched in 2003 with the Spirit and Opportunity Rovers to Mars.
Winners have been announced for the MoonBots 2.0 : A Google Lunar X Prize Lego Mindstorms Challenge. The contest was open to student teams to design, program and build robots that would simulate the lunar missions which mirrored the Lunar X Prize.
The Canadian Robot Dextre has completed its first maintenance task on the International Space Station (ISS) this week. The R2 robotic handyman replaced an electrical switchboard outside the complex over Sunday and Monday. The entire process took 29 hours to complete.
Dextre, the robotic handyman deployed by the Canadian Space Agency on-board the International Space Station (ISS) has succeeded in replacing a defective circuit-breaker box in on the orbiting lab.
In 2008, AeroVironment declared that they had received a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the development of a mobile, stealthy, persistent perch and stare (SP2S) unmanned aircraft system.
A team of scientists in Canada conducted an interesting set of experiments in northern Labrador this week. The Canadian researchers put a small robot through a simulated moon mission at the impact crater at Kamestastinb Lake.
Robonaut 2 the humanoid robot that NASA sent up with the last shuttle Discovery has been unboxed. Robonaut 2, also known as R2 was delivered five months ago to the International Space Station and has been powered up for the first time on this mission.
The Robotic Refuelling Mission (RRM) will soon be transported to a permanent location by the International Space Station (ISS) on the ExPress Logistics Carrier-4. NASA and the Canadian Space Agency have come together to design the RRM, which represents the technologies, tools and methods that are needed for robotically servicing satellites.
Robots perform the robotic mission impossible in this wonderful feat from European researchers. Three different kinds of robots must work together to reach their objective, a book on a high shelf. The exact location of the book is not known to the robots and they must work as a swarm to accomplish the mission.
The Mars rover Opportunity has now reached the edge of a 14 mile wide crater NASA scientists announced on Wednesday. It has taken the solar-powered six wheel rover three years to reach the Endeavor Crater. It drove up 13 miles from a smaller crater called Victoria.
