Robot sky patrol: the military's remotely piloted planes make ideal spies--but each one costs millions. Stanley Herwitz thinks off-the-shelf technology can make aerial sensing affordable for everyone. (Demo).: Wake up and sense the coffee. One day last September, that was the job of a research team led by Clark University earth scientist Stanley Herwitz, a proponent of low-cost wireless aerial imaging for the masses. Rising well before dawn, Herwitz's team rolled Pathfinder Plus, a solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle...; Tags: camera, craft, NASA, robot, team; Research articles 2003-02-01
Immobots take control: it's a dangerous world, but machines that "know themselves" can deal with crises autonomously--and often more effectively than their human programmers.: the Mars Polar Lander never had a chance. At 12:02 P.M. California time on December 3, 1999, after an 11-month journey to Mars, the NASA spacecraft slewed its antenna away from Earth in preparation for entry into the Martian atmosphere. That was the last time mission controllers heard...; Tags: car, computer, craft, NASA, photocopier, programmer, robot, software, spacecraft; Research articles 2002-12-01
Software for coordinationg multiple exploratory robots: Software for Coordinating Multiple Exploratory Robots A computer program coordinates the activities of multiple instrumented robotic vehicles of the "rover" type intended for use in scientific exploration. The program is a master/slave, distributed version of the ASPEN planning software, other versions of which have been reported in several prior NASA...; Tags: California Institute of Technology, NASA, robot, software; Research articles 2001-05-01
High flying probe: Perseus to sail into the ozone. (Perseus is a sailplane-like robot craft): HIGH-FLYING PROBE: Perseus to Sail into the Ozone To study the Antarctic ozone hole, atmospheric scientists need new lower-cost higher-altitude instrument platforms. In 1994, Perseus, a sailplane-like robot craft powered by an unusual closed-cycle propulsion system, will soar 15 miles into the stratosphere to collect crucial...; Tags: aircraft, cloth, NASA, ozone, Perseus, robot; Research articles 1992-01-01
NASA robots get the call for Mars mission. (News).: NASA, the U.S. space agency that put a man on the moon and is planning to send two robots to Mars next year, may finally begin to use technology more sophisticated than a marker pen for its mission brainstorming sessions. NASA, the U.S. space...; Tags: NASA, robot; Research articles 2002-06-17

NASA's little helper: astronauts heading to the moon and Mars will have a new kind of crew member: an autonomous robot with its own helmet and a mean kung fu grip.(TECH WATCH)(Brief Article): In the more than three decades since boot prints last crisscrossed the lunar surface, only trusty--and expendable--robots have explored the solar system. Now, with a manned visit to the moon scheduled for 2018, NASA is testing the Robonaut, a humanoid robot that will work literally hand...; Tags: NASA, Robots; Research articles 2006-01-01
Storm clouds over Australia give US Mars robot a day of rest: WASHINGTON AFP ? Thunder and lightning storms over Australia prevented NASA from sending the Mars robot Spirit its daily "road map," giving the six-wheeled explorer a rest on its 18th day on Mars, NASA said.
