... in the solar system. They still do that work today, but they also help humans. Robots on the International Space Station (ISS), for example, help the astronauts move and install the larger pieces of the Space Station. Robots helping astronauts is the way of the future. Humans need to be there to do what humans do best—think and respond. Robots, on the other hand will always be needed to help humans do dangerous or boring ...

... generally last as long as their batteries last. Just like car batteries, robot batteries can be charged and recharged, but at some point the batteries cannot keep their charge. Because there is no one to change the batteries, the robot stops working. Or, the robot stops working due to catastrophic damage from, for example, space debris or meteors ... /For%20Kids/KidstoSpace.html Click here Category:Kids To Space Category:Kids To Space - ROBOTS

... this include the Viking landers of years past, but also current and next generation mobile robots traversing the surface with scientific experiments for humans to better learn about this mostly unexplored environment. Many robotic vehicles have been proposed in recent years to assist astronauts on planetary surfaces. Only a ...

... very long names that we shorten into acronyms. For instance, the next Canadian robot to be sent to the ISS is called Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator, and so was called SPDM. Even that name was not very nice so now the robot's new nickname is Dextre. ---- Answer provided by CAF Capt.

... composite materials, like those found in airplane construction. The types of materials used to build robots depend a lot on the temperatures of space or distant planets. To help protect against temperature extremes, robot designers use thermal blankets, radiators, and electric heaters. ---- Answer provided by CAF Capt. Marc Fricker ...

Astronauts had to do a spacewalk, in their spacesuits, to repair the damaged robot. Fortunately, CanadArm 2 has been working great ever since. ---- Answer provided by CAF Capt.

You don't have to wait to go to space to have a robot friend or pet. There are many toys that are very hi-tech. Aibo is one of the best examples that you can buy today, but robots are still quite expensive. http://www.aibo-europe.com/1_1_3_ers7_1.asp Image:K2Srobot2.jpg border 200 px You can even buy robot vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers that will clean your house and cut your grass for ...
