| ID No : | 35 Edit | Title: | Adapting Small Robots for Autonomous Planetary Exploration |
| Summary / Review : |
From the author's abstract: "Small, low mass robots developed at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AI Lab) are capable of autonomous operations in a range of environments by using relatively simple operational rules and nested "behaviors" rather than detailed exploration tasks ... A mobile strategy is presented that uses an initial high survey jump followed by multiple short hops... It should be possible for the robots to carry out simple spectral and mechanical tests of the soil using miniature cameras and incest-analogue "mandibles". Due to the low mass of the robots, a single spacecraft launched by a small booster might carry several of them." - MP
