Kurt “CyberGuy' Knutsson introduces you to a robotic dog with unnatural strength that is training for moon missions.
In the shadow of Oregon’s majestic Mount Hood, a team of researchers from a consortium of universities and NASA’s Johnson Space Center have embarked on a groundbreaking project. Their mission? To prepare a dog-like robot named Spirit for the daunting task of navigating the moon’s unpredictable terrain.
The LASSIE Project: A leap toward planetary exploration Spirit’s trials are part of the LASSIE Project , a multidisciplinary effort that includes engineers, cognitive scientists, geoscientists and planetary scientists. The team’s goal is to understand the characteristics of different substrates and enhance the robot’s ability to walk on these challenging surfaces.
Kurt's key takeaways The Palmer Glacier on Oregon’s Mount Hood isn’t the moon, but it’s an excellent place for practice. Here, Spirit and its future robotic companions learn to navigate extreme terrain, transforming into structures like bridges or pyramids to overcome obstacles. This research not only pushes the boundaries of technology but also inspires us to reimagine the possibilities of teamwork in the face of adversity.
