Robots used by Nasa.

NASA uses Robotic arms to move large objects in Mars. The article explains how NASA is using Robotics to explore Mars. The rovers on mar are carrying out tests and taking pictures. These rovers then transmit the data back to NASA were scientists can use the data to better understand space.

Since it takes 300 day to get to Mars and this opportunity only happens every 2 year it is not possible to send humans to Mars. There is no way to send 4 years of food with the astronauts so scientist rely on robots who don't require food and can send food to the Astronauts.

Robots help perform tasks that can't be completed by humans. HRS focuses on improving the interaction between humans and robots. It provides  robotic assistance, and developing mobile robots and vehicles that improve safety and efficiency and increase productivity.
Robots can assist in human missions by arriving and performing tasks before humans arrive, by working alongside astronauts during crewed missions, and by staying behind to perform additional tasks after the crew leaves.

Such tasks included participating in precursor missions to selected landing sites, arriving early before astronauts set up habitats, begin preliminary scientific research, etc. ]]> 2019-03-27 14:50:39 UTC https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/345734134 Pic of Robot 23ps0607 https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/345735490 This robot was built to work hand-in hand with humans as most robots in NASA were. NASA had a vision that the robots would be precursors to human arrival, they could be caretakers running a facility. All in all robots like these can play multiple roles and there are multiple oppurtunities or work that the robots can take part in. Robots like these would be nothing but beneficial to our society.]]> 2019-03-27 14:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/345735490 Athlete Rover. 23ps0607 https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/345736066 Athlete Rover. The full form of this Rover is, The All-Terrain Hex-Limbed Extra-Terrestrial Explorer (ATHLETE).    This vehicle concept is based on six 6 DoF (Degrees-of-Freedom) limbs, each with a 1 DoF wheel attached. ATHLETE uses its wheels for efficient driving over stable, gently rolling terrain. ATHLETE is envisioned as a heavy-lift utility vehicle to support human exploration of the lunar surface, it is useful for unloading bulky cargo from stationary landers and transporting it to long distnaces. ]]> 2019-03-27 14:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/345736066 Rover 23ag0226 https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/346159730 This image shows NASA's Mars 2020 rover studying a Mars rock outcrop. This Rover can be used to carry out tests as well as be used as transportation devices. It set out on a mission to seek signs of habitable conditions on Mars. The landing site of Mars 2020 is of great interest to the planetary community, because it carries a sample system that will collect rock and soil samples that would be set aside in a cache on the surface of Mars. A prediction scientists working to learn more about robots like these and missions it could carry out have predicted that in a future mission, a different vehicle could potentially return these samples to Earth ]]> 2019-03-28 14:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/346159730 Transportation 23ag0226 https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/346160179 This huge machine is slow yet extremely strong. It is used to transport rocket ships to the launch pad. It is called a crawler transporter. In one specific case on December 29, 1980 one of the first of these machines was tested. It transported the space shuttle Columbia to the launch pad before the first shuttle flight, STS-1. Many students that are engineers in training are working to build similar machines to improve the function and design of them. ]]> 2019-03-28 14:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/346160179 Overview 23ag0226 https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/346162672 NASA utilizes robots for many reasons. And in a world were robotics is becoming ever more important companies are trying to utilize robots. NASA uses robots for efficiency and cost purposes. For example, the Moon Rovers can be used as cars on the moon. In addition, NASA has found it is cheaper and more precise to use robots in manufacturing. When touring the factories you can find NASA utilizing machine laser cutting robots in order to cut sheets of metal or long robotic arms to paint numerous items. Robots are also more hygienic because they don't have hair, mucus, etc. Yet, robots are not always the solution. Sometimes astronauts need to complete tasks that robots cannot complete. In other scenario robots can't reach to location or are not precise enough to complete the task at hand. Our group believes that Robots are helpful because it is cheaper to buy a robot then pay someone for manual labor. In addition, robots are more dispensable than humans because the robot is material good, meaning that it would only cost money to replace if destroyed. If a human dies they can not be replaced so it eh robot is more dispensable and helps keep astronauts out of danger.]]> 2019-03-28 14:29:43 UTC https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/346162672 Video of NASA robot in action 23ps0607 https://padlet.com/23ps0607/r5xd143laow4/wish/346165038 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxupKyB7iAg
