Advance robotic software that increases the autonomy of dexterous humanoid robots
More »The Space Robotics Competition tasks teams with developing and displaying the ability of an R5 robot to effectively assist in the procedures of a NASA mission, such as one to Mars. The competition involves programming a virtual R5 robot through a series of tasks presented in a virtual environment through the Gazebo software. The three tasks are aimed to simulate what a robot may be required to do while assisting a NASA mission to Mars, whether in a preparatory capacity before astronauts arrive or alongside astronauts. The first task involves aligning a communications array. The second task involves repairing a broken solar array. The third task involves identifying and repairing a habitat leak.
