Everything that NASA builds and innovates doesn't necessarily have to go into space. ]]> 2019-03-27 18:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/23hw07431/won06p3tg7zv/wish/345852262 23hw07431 https://padlet.com/23hw07431/won06p3tg7zv/wish/346187514 The following is a picture of what the current prototype of Robonaut is going to look like.

For example they use robotic arms to move big objects and use robotics to fly planes without pilots. Sometimes they need humans to control other times they do not. Robots help explore space such as places like the moon or mars. Robots also help explore dangerous places, where humans  cannot go. Like taking pictures of volcanoes. Robots also can help people in space Such as Robonaut.]]> 2019-03-28 18:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/23hw07431/won06p3tg7zv/wish/346284294 23hw07431 https://padlet.com/23hw07431/won06p3tg7zv/wish/346286581 NASA uses robots to their advantage as the benefits are never ending. For example sending a robot to space is much cheaper than sending a human to space, as robots don't require the essential needs that humans do, such as not needing to use the bathroom, sleep, and they can survive in space for many years and doesn't need to be returned to Earth. Additionally robots can do lots of things that humans can't such as surviving very harsh conditions, like extremely low temperatures or high levels of radiation. Robots can also be built to do things that would be too risky or impossible for astronauts. They don't need to go through the training that humans do, and the loss or failure of a robot isn't as detrimental as the loss of a human is. NASA is developing robots to explore Mars that some of you have probably heard of, like Curiosity and Spirit and Opportunity. Not all the robots that NASA develops have to necessarily go into space, as they have designed many robots to withstand some of the harsh terrains on Earth that the humans have trouble exploring like the mountains in Antarctica, or exploring the deep depths of the ocean. In my opinion the possibilities are endless and the less risky than having to send a human on perilous missions with the chance of dying. ]]> 2019-03-28 18:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/23hw07431/won06p3tg7zv/wish/346286581 23ba00141 https://padlet.com/23hw07431/won06p3tg7zv/wish/346288164 NASA's Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robots (PUFFER) robot is inspired by origami.
