Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich (ETH Zurich) and the Research Center for Information Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany (FZI) both entered robot dog designs in the ESA’s lunar polar challenge, a competition for European and Canadian engineering teams to develop moon rovers capable of scouting and prospecting valuable resources such as ice in harsh and inhospitable areas of the moon like the south lunar pole.
Five out of an initial 13 teams succeeded in the first challenge of navigating and mapping a simulated lunar environment, allowing them to proceed to the next phase of the competition. The winner will receive a hefty money prize along with resources to potentially see their rover design reach the moon. More
Woof!
Well they won’t have to worry about fleas, just the lunar tics who go up with them.
Giorgio Tsoukalos says the Nazis had these in ’44.
I’d rather send robotic analogs to these hostile off planet environments long before letting a human step foot there.
What the f*ck would They Howl at???
“Robot Dogs on the Moon?”
…no…
…whalers.
