| NASA FUNDS AVATARS |
Eight advanced robotics projects have been recognized by NASA. These projects will aid agency's future missions to support Obama administration's National Robotics Initiative. These projects will facilitate the development and deployment of robots by experts in the U.S. and even for operations like space exploration. Robots are capable of working alongside or operate in sync with human beings under various missions. Co-robotics work in tune with humans to promote efficiency, performance and safety, enabling the U.S. to have high competence and position in aerospace technology and sophisticated manufacturing.
NASA has selected the following proposals for development:
- Active
Skins for Simplified Tactile Feedback in Robotics
- Toward
Human Avatar Robots for Co-Exploration of Hazardous Environments
- Actuators
for Safe, Strong and Efficient Humanoid Robots
- A
Novel Powered Leg Prosthesis Simulator for Sensing and Control Development
- Long-range
Prediction of Non-Geometric Terrain Hazards for Reliable Planetary Rover
Traverse
- Manipulating
Flexible Materials Using Sparse Coding
- Whole-body
Telemanipulation of the Dreamer Humanoid Robot on Rough Terrains Using
Hand Exoskeleton (EXODREAM)
- Long, Thin Continuum Robots for Space Applications
Unmanned Ground Vehicle UGV Armed With Auto Shotguns & Gas Canisters
