In 2008, AeroVironment declared that they had received a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for the development of a mobile, stealthy, persistent perch and stare (SP2S) unmanned aircraft system.
A team of scientists in Canada conducted an interesting set of experiments in northern Labrador this week. The Canadian researchers put a small robot through a simulated moon mission at the impact crater at Kamestastinb Lake.
Robonaut 2 the humanoid robot that NASA sent up with the last shuttle Discovery has been unboxed. Robonaut 2, also known as R2 was delivered five months ago to the International Space Station and has been powered up for the first time on this mission.
The Robotic Refuelling Mission (RRM) will soon be transported to a permanent location by the International Space Station (ISS) on the ExPress Logistics Carrier-4. NASA and the Canadian Space Agency have come together to design the RRM, which represents the technologies, tools and methods that are needed for robotically servicing satellites.
Robots perform the robotic mission impossible in this wonderful feat from European researchers. Three different kinds of robots must work together to reach their objective, a book on a high shelf. The exact location of the book is not known to the robots and they must work as a swarm to accomplish the mission.
The Mars rover Opportunity has now reached the edge of a 14 mile wide crater NASA scientists announced on Wednesday. It has taken the solar-powered six wheel rover three years to reach the Endeavor Crater. It drove up 13 miles from a smaller crater called Victoria.
A robotic arm will help astronauts take samples from asteroids, the Moon and Mars from within pressurized vehicles in the future. A team of international space scientists at the Mars Institute are working with the space robotics company MDA Information System Inc. to design and test a robotic arm that could help astronauts collect these geological samples.
A next-generation, advanced robotic lander prototype called as the "MightyEagle" is being developed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
Swarm robots are making waves at the Georgia Robotics and Intelligent Systems Lab (GRITS). The small Khepera robots have been seen to do a number of amazing activities in the past including flying in perfect formation, playing ping pong and creating a tune on a piano. Now in the lab they can do something completely new.
Engineers at the University of Southampton have designed the Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft (SULSA), which is an unmanned air vehicle that has been built using printed structures.
