NASA's Latest Robotic Efforts
There's been two very interesting features on NASA's recent research. The article over on Space.com entitled "NASA Ramping Up 'Cliff-Bots' To Explore Mars" starts by discussing new design tests, such as 'frogbots' or 'snakebots'. Then they talk about the need for increased ability, flexibility and intelligence to better explore the martian landscape. This links straight into the 'cliffbot', which is a system of three robots capable of cooperating to lower one of them down a cliff for exploration. The theme of multi-agent systems is further discussed in the other article onTRN News - Cooperative Robots Share the Load . It talks about a robotic work crew (mentioned a few weeks back), capable of cooperating to achieve complex tasks via communication and voting.
