space probes like Voyager have visited
many of our nearby planets sending back
stunning pictures as robots they accept
commands and perform tasks remotely for
millions of miles from Earth today NASA
is developing a new generation of robots
robotics will play a major role in the
construction and maintenance of NASA's
manned space station dude rebuilt in
1990s a Jet Propulsion Laboratory in
Pasadena California simulations are
underway with a robotic gripper capable
of transmitting the sense of feel back
to it's User other NASA centers are also
involved in robotics research for the
space station at Ames in Mountain View
California a unique system for operating
robots is being explored using
especially sensing some lipton glove as
I make a fist gesture the pictures on
the end effector clothes robotics
research at NASA's Johnson Space Center
in Houston is being done on this robotic
retriever the free-flying helper will be
used to retrieve loose tools and even
astronauts who get separated from the
space station
taking the lead in robotics research is
Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt
Maryland they have evaluated most
present day technology used in robotics
and are designing a specialized robot
called the flight teller robotic
servicer or fts researchers plan to
evaluate its design using these arms in
a series of Space Station passes robots
will play a key role in space endeavors
that require man and machine to work
closely together
