Dr. Jose Hurtado, Associate
Professor of Geological Sciences, is part of a NASA team investigating
the use of robots for geologic field work on the moon. The team will
evaluate the effectiveness of using a robot to do reconnaissance work.
Currently, a robot named K-10 is being tested at the Black Point Lava
Flow near Flagstaff, Arizona. K-10 looks like a Mars Exploration Rovers
and carries a set of cameras and other instruments used to image and
explore an area. |
