stanley vaso NASA researchers successfully demonstrated the first use of multiple rovers that work tightly in sync to perform tasks such as coordinated grasping, lifting and moving of an extended payload, while navigating through obstacles on natural terrain. The Robotic Work Crew behaves a lot like its human counterpart might during a home construction project. Consider the challenge two people face when transporting a long, heavy board through a busy worksite, said Dr. Paul Schenker, supervisor of the Mechanical and Robotics Technologies Group and principal investigator for the pro

The trick is to combine such individual behaviors to safely carry and manipulate bigger things. The rovers must share the workload and thinking, exchange important sensory cues and quickly comply with each others motions. During outdoor tests near JPL, in which the deployment of a solar power station was simulated, two such cooperating rovers autonomously approached, gripped and carried a 2.5-meter 8-foot long container over distances of more than 50 meters 164 feet . The Robotic Work Crew can traverse uneven, hazardous terrain. The crew visually detects and tracks its g
