  • Short for Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robot (PUFFER)
  • Inspired by origami.
  • Design allows it to flatten and fold itself and getting to places that rovers can't.

They hope that they will be able to better understand the depths and the mysteries of the ocean through this. ]]> 2019-03-28 15:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346210463 What does NASA do? (Article #1) 23sh02661 https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346210705 NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration and it is a government agency whose main job is to explore space and also aeronautics, or in simple terms, flight research. 
    One way that NASA conducts their research is with robots. NASA uses robots for many different things. They use robots that resemble rovers, others that don't and humanoids, or robots that resemble humans. Robots are used to explore our solar system because they are much safer, cheaper and easier than using humans. They can also explore deeper than humans. ]]>     2019-03-28 15:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346210705     Everybody, watch out!

But the robots come in handy because they are able to do dirty, dangerous or even just dull/repetitive work that humans can't or don't want to do. They also explain how humanoids, or robots that resemble humans are often better and much more useful than specialized task robots. The human element of the humanoids allows them to do a much more wide variety of tasks.]]> 2019-03-28 15:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346215378 NASA SUMMARY 23as10771 https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346215722 2019-03-28 16:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346215722 Article #3 23sh02661 https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346216664 NASA uses robotics to explore space and also uses robotic arms to lift heavy objects in Space. In addition, they use robotic airplanes that don't have pilots, instead controlled on the ground remotely, to explore dangerous places such as volcanoes.]]> 2019-03-28 16:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346216664 VIDEO 23as10771 https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346217896 2019-03-28 16:03:46 UTC https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346217896 23as10771 https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346220051 All in all, it is evident that NASA relies heavily on robotics to successfully carry out space missions. Robots can assist humans or perform solo tasks like rovers. Robots can also be made to resemble humans - such as Valkyrie. Valkyrie is an AI robot who is 6 feet 2 inches tall, and is in the shape of a human, with the purpose of helping to colonize ars. Conversely, Puffer is a robot used by NASA but is quite small and rover-like. Puffer is used for exploration because he can fold himself up to take on a smaller size and therefore can reach places that normal rovers cannot. It's also important to recognize that robots aren't ONLY used in space. In fact, NASA is using robots to explore the ocean and make advancements in aeronautics.]]> 2019-03-28 16:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/23as10771/khya5a16rf1u/wish/346220051
