3-D glasses, dancing robots and a prickly space tool greeted members of the Asteroid Redirect Mission Headquarters team as they visited NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center on Nov. 6, 2014 to experience the mission scenario and technologies of NASA's concept to capture a boulder off a much larger asteroid using robotic arms.
Led by Michele Gates, program director for NASA's Asteroid Redirect Mission, the team entered Goddard's immersive Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) to experience a 3-D simulation. It uses the latest engineering models of the robotic spacecraft and its onboard software to visualize landing on an asteroid, collecting a boulder, and transporting it to lunar orbit. More than just an engaging simulation tool, the CAVE employs physics-based modeling to validate that mission scenarios will operate in space. Beyond just watching the action unfold, the ARM team used the interactive facility to move a virtual camera around the simulation and to drive the spacecraft's two robotic arms – arms that pick up the boulder and may also be used to prepare the returned rock for exploration by astronauts.
Stepping over to Goddard's Servicing Technology Center, the team saw in motion a full-scale, prototype model of this new, seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. Developed by NASA's Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office, this dexterous robot can be applied to other NASA missions beyond asteroid capture, to on-orbit satellite refueling and even to the assembly of large telescopes in space. Along the way, the team checked out the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Microspine gripper tool, a device that can grip the surface of a boulder with hundreds of sharp spines. They also tried their hand at a robot that accurately simulates an object's mass and inertial properties in space.
The Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) is part of NASA’s plan to advance the new technologies and spaceflight experience needed for humans to pioneer Mars in the 2030s.NASA is working on two mission concepts for asteroid capture: one would fully enclose an asteroid using an inflatable system and the other would capture a boulder off of a much larger asteroid using robotic arms. The agency will choose one of the two concepts in late 2014. NASA plans to launch the ARM robotic spacecraft at the end of this decade.

This little robot is guarding the water cooler at work. Someone left the pen up there and all I could think was "What is this? Are we at a party or something?" And then I realized it was a call to action...
I added pose-able arms today but forgot to take pictures before heading home.
Taller de Armado y Programación de Robots en el 2do. Campamento Científico del Uruguay
Este innovador taller, que dio inicio a un Programa llamado "Robot Diplomacy", de la embajada de Estados Unidos en Uruguay, tuvo lugar en el marco del 2do. Campamento Latinoamericano de Ciencias, que lleva adelante la Dirección de Innovación Ciencia y Tecnología del MEC, con el apopo de ANEP y UTU en Minas, departamento de Lavalleja. La Ingeniera Mecánica Theresa Dixon, de la embajada de los Estados Unidos en Montevideo, fue la encargada de dictar este taller.

Valeria is a particular robot. She's built from an old drill, her arms consist by sugar tongs, and her legs are constituted by two engines of mixer. Valeria means Versatile Artificial Lifeform Engineered for Repair and Immediate Assassination
Since its beginnings as the British Welding Research Association in 1946, TWI has been at the forefront of arc welding development.

Photos from the Virginia Beach Fire Training Center this week of testing being done on the latest robotic technology available to emergency response agencies. ASTI International along with federal agencies to include NSTI and the Department of Homeland Security were here at the training center to test and evaluate the various systems available today. They are doing standardize testing on the robotic systems to help various emergency response agencies and the military determine and quantify the capabilities of these systems. This testing /competing helps agencies determine what are the best systems for their particular missions and even increases proficiency of the users of these systems. Robotics developers from as far away as Japan and elsewhere around the world are here to participate in this unique event.
The robotics systems included ground, aerial and aquatic robots, maneuvering through special obstacle courses built for this event. Some of the robots even maneuvered through the “Burn House” at the fire training center. Local police departments and military units are participating with their bomb disposal units and NYFD and other fire departments across the country are also participating.

Bomb squads from across the country saddled up their robots and duked it out at the ninth annual Western National Robot Rodeo and Capability Exercise at Sandia National Laboratories. The five-day event offers a challenging platform for civilian and military bomb squad teams to practice defusing dangerous situations with robots’ help.

This fine looking chap is the distant cousin to robot #49. I might be making one of them into a 3D wooden robot. Trying to get their shapes & colors figured out.
