For example, robotic arms can help move heavy objects in space and fix problems in the space station. Robots have been really helpful to astronauts and can help them discover new areas in space.]]> 2019-03-28 16:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/23tk03621/tpf4uza5xhri/wish/346217389 23ss06691 https://padlet.com/23tk03621/tpf4uza5xhri/wish/346217614 Hedgehog is a special robot which has the abilities to maneuver on a small body such as a comet or asteroid.

The highest peaks of the mountain have too much carbon dioxide for humans to handle, and this is where IceWorm will come in.]]> 2019-03-28 16:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/23tk03621/tpf4uza5xhri/wish/346219657 23tk03621 https://padlet.com/23tk03621/tpf4uza5xhri/wish/346221214 NASA uses a lot of robots to help us explore space!  Some examples are listed here.  Some benefits of robots include not having send a human into space and have to worry about them getting hurt. Some challenges are building the robots to properly function.  My opinion is that robots are going to be the future of space discovery. There won't be any need for astronauts any more and we can effectively send robots to increase our understanding of space. Also, sending robots would be much cheaper that sending humans.


NASA has been able to come up with some amazing stuff which can help with exploration on various space bodies such as the use of the Hedgehog for tumbling on comets and asteroids. NASA even made robots to use on things that weren't in the space. IceWorm is a project which can climb up Antarctica's mountains---something which humans cannot do as carbon dioxide levels are too high at some point. The use of robots is much safer than sending humans out (obviously).]]> 2019-03-28 16:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/23tk03621/tpf4uza5xhri/wish/346221214
