Podcasts about astrobees

Advanced robotics play a vital role in space exploration, as they allow us to access and gather data from environments that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to reach. There are various types of robots that are used for different purposes in space exploration, including explorer bots, assistant bots, and automated systems.Explorer bots, like NASA's Quadcopter Robot, are designed to explore and gather data from distant planets and moons. These robots are often equipped with a range of sensors and instruments that allow them to perform tasks such as mapping the surface, collecting samples, and analyzing the environment.Assistant bots, like Astrobees, are designed to assist astronauts in their daily tasks aboard the International Space Station (ISS). These robots can move freely throughout the ISS and perform tasks such as taking inventory, documenting experiments, and moving cargo. Overall, advanced robotics play a crucial role in space exploration, as they allow us to gather valuable data and perform tasks that would be impossible or impractical for humans to do. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more sophisticated and capable robots being used in space exploration. In this episode we will dive deeper into the role of AI & robotics in space exploration, what are some of the robots NASA is currently; like astrobees aboard the ISS. We also discuss how ExLabs vehicles will be designed for coupling and maintaining control of an object to enable trajectory alterations and redirection into easily-accessible parking orbits. To learn more about ExLabs head to our website. Follow us on our Twitter, and connect with our community and engineers over on Discord.

A look at robotics and artificial intelligence in space as NASA's Trey Smith and Jose Benavides visit Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion! But first, we look at a triple star system that may be home to an odd exoplanet, we ride along with the BepiColombo craft exploring Mercury, and we talk about what's coming to the night sky in October!

Humming as they go, but softly to comply with noise limits on the space station, the Astrobees can take environmental readings or perform inventory.

The Discussion: Your last chance to get tickets to join Jen’s at Pint of Science on 20-22nd May in Cardiff, a couple of corrections for the last episode, listeners’ comments about our Moon 2024 musings and a listener’s email takes us into classic 50s sci-fi territory. The News: Rounding up the space exploration news this month we have: NASA’s new robot assistants and ‘Astrobees’ on the International Space Station Portugal launches its national space agency in the Azores and plans an environmentally friendly rocket Arianespace are to launch 42 satellites on a single rocket NASA Administrator misses his April deadline to provide financial figures for a retirn to the moon in 2024 :-( Space Force will likely cost $1.5Bn more each year than originally thought India’s Chandrayaan-2 mission will launch to the moon in September this year Main news stories: Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin has been developing a giant lunar landing in secret, while Elon Musk’s SpaceX have a setback to their human spaceflight plans The Debate: A reminder that you can influence the Best Space Mission Ever debate season, starting next month. What do you think is the best current or historical space mission and why? We’ll shortlist the ten most popular and begin advocating to reach a winner. Q&A: Could a device, with a magnetic field, be placed at the L1 Lagrange Point between the Sun and Mars to help to thicken the atmosphere? And could a device be placed at Earth’s L1 Lagrange point counteract the effect of global warming?

This week we’re talking about new technology that’s helping us eat more sustainably including tracking fish from 'bait to plate' and growing fake burgers, obesity and healthy eating, the cyclones that recently affected Mozambique and eastern India, Astrobees at the International Space Station, the development of a new Malaria vaccine for children, Japan’s new Emperor, the Royal Baby and the London Marathon.

Andy and Dave discuss the Department of Energy’s attempt to create the world’s longest acronym, with DIFFERENTIATE (Design Intelligence for Formidable Energy Reduction Engendering Numerous Totally Impactful Advanced Technology Enhancements), and to accelerate incorporation of ML into energy technology and product design. Google cancels its AI ethics board after thousands of employees sign a petition calling for the removal of one member with anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant views. NASA unveils the Astrobees, one-foot cube robots that will work autonomously on the International Space Station to check inventory and monitor noise levels, among other things. And Microsoft partners with French online education platform OpenClasrooms to train and recruit promising students in AI. Research from Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Trento takes a biologically “inspired” approach to neural net learning, through Neuron Elevation Traces (NATs), that allow additional data storage in each synapse; the result appears to increase the plasticity of the synapses. A mathematical reasoning model from DeepMind can solve some arithmetic, algebra, and probability problems, though sometimes gets simple calculations incorrect (such as 1 + 1 + … + 1, for n>=7). And research creates a musculoskeletal system that can use muscle activation to simulate movement and control. A report from Element AI examines the Global AI Talent distributions in 2019, to include (perhaps not surprisingly) the observation that the supply of top-tier AI talent does not meet the demand. A paper in Nature Reviews Physics surveys the physics of brain network structure, function, and control. A short sci-fi story from Jeffrey Ford describes The Seventh Expression of the Robot General. And Andy highlights a video from 1961 on The Thinking Machine.
