Robots application from earth to mars


Quadruped robot application has involved in many fields, In past few years, arduino robot online has started to applied in the other planet to explore survivable field.
 There are several years in the making; hundreds of engineers and scientists and argue after argument of where and how to disembark– but the detector Curiosity has finally landing and works normally.
The striders, equipped with not only a multitude of cameras, however a complete classification of analytical facility one maybe find only in an advanced, well-funded research lab here on earth, will be offering us for worth information about the red planet. The next step (currently underway) is a lot of “heath” tests to decide if all autonomous mobile robots survived the voyage and the unbelievable disembarking. Some fun facts:
• The rover is powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) that uses non-fissile plutonium which could power the rover for more than 14 years(the task is hoped to continue two years).
• The pattern left by the tracks in the sand is actually morse code for “JPL” (Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Lab).
• Chemcam (the large “head” of the rover which makes it a bit more “personable”), which can analyze the composition of rocks as far as 7m away, was almost not included twice; once due to a fire, the other due to budget cuts.
