NASA hopes to one day uses Valkyrie in space exploration, but humanoid Robonauts such as this one are already used on the International Space Station. ]]> 2019-04-01 21:28:17 UTC https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347400193 23mz08001 https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347402303 The Hedge hog is spiky cube of a robot that is designed to explore small bodies, such as asteroids or comets. ]]> 2019-04-01 21:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347402303 23mz08001 https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347402343 Dextre is attached to the end of the International Space Station's robotic arm.

Robonauts could help Astronauts with anything from working on the International Space Station to exploring other worlds. ]]> 2019-04-01 21:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347402658 23mz08001 https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347402895 NASA uses robots for hundreds of purposes, whether it's here on Earth, in the International Space Station, or on other planets through out our Solar System. One of NASA's newest projects is it's Robonaut Valkyrie, which is a human like robot that is designed to carry out human like actions in space and on the International Space Station. Robonauts provide an alternative to astronauts, and will be used in cases and areas of exploration that are either too dangerous for a human astronaut, thus saving countless amounts of astronaut lives. Robonauts like Valkyrie were simply a fantasy several decades ago, further proving how rapidly NASA's robotics program is adapting an expanding. Another example of one of NASA's new and innovative robots is PUFFER. PUFFER stands for  Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robot, and will be used to explore areas that might be too risky for a full-fledged rover to go. PUFFER was inspired by the art of Origami, since the robot is tiny and can fold in and out of itself. With new and more advanced robots such as Valkyrie and PUFFER, NASA's scientists will be able to explore space like they never have before. These new robots will be able to present new data and information on other celestial bodies that human astronauts haven't been able to provide. Some challenges in the advancement of robots is that engineering such advanced and groundbreaking robots requires lots of time, engineering ingenuity, and financial support for simply one robot to get started. Often NASA doesn't have all the resources, especially financial ones, to get such projects started. We believe that the advancement in NASA's robotics is truly a positive because of how much new information we can gain from such robots. ]]> 2019-04-01 21:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347402895 23mz08001 https://padlet.com/23mz08001/prnu24qm2zat/wish/347403073 NASA plans to land a new rover on Mars in 2020.
