What type of jobs/careers will be created due to this robot?
Engineers will need to build and maintain the robots,therefore more engineers will need to be hired.Jobs in NASA and ocean exploring may be increased as well.
Future Uses
Doctors may use exploratory robots to explore the insides of human bodies to better explain the cause and effects of diseases(microscopic/nanotechnology)
Advantages
and
Disadvantages
Advantages: you can have info. before you enter a hostile environment
Disadvantages: You can only get limited amounts of info. from using robots. You can get more from being there in person.
Possible impact...
Is the robot effector multifunctional?
Humans can use the information they gather to further explain our planet and galaxy.
The robot is multifunctional.These types of robots collect info. using cameras, sensors, and mapping.
How is the robot taught?
It is programmed to perform duties and tasks.
Exploratory Robots
What task does it perform?
Exploratory robots collect data from dangerous places humans cannot explore.
Exploratory Robot Fact
The first exploratory robot was named Dante,and it was sent to explore the depths of Antarctica in 1993. one year later,Dante 2 was sent into Mt. Spurr, a volcano in Alaska.
Where is the robot used?
What is the work envelope?
They are used to explore places men cannot go.The work envelope may vary depending on the environment a robot is in.Ex.space,ocean depths, military activity
What sensors does the robot have,and how are they used?
Created to collect data about the ocean.It was divided into two parts:the float and the sub.
Wave Glider SV3
Exploratory robots have sensors such as visual,thermal,motion,and sonar sensors.The use of these sensors vary depending on the environment.Curiosity(below) uses touch and light sensors to explore mars.
In 1977,the Pathfinder Mission sees this robotic rover collect data from mars by taking pictures of rocks and soil.This gave us the chance to see things from another planet for the first time.
Sojourner
Curiosity was sent to explore mars,and helped scientist determine it habitable in 2012.
