DOGS ON THE MOON!
robots. Researchers tested their team on a variety of terrains across Switzerland and at the European Space Resources Innovation Centre in Luxembourg.Engineers at ETH Zurich worked alongside the Universities of Basel, Bern, and Zurich to program each ANYmal with specific lunar tasks: One was taught to utilize a microscopy camera alongside a spectrometer to identify varieties of rock, while another focused on using cameras and a laser scanner to map and classify its surrounding landscape.
“Using multiple robots has two advantages,” doctoral student and researcher Philip Arm explains. “The individual robots can take on specialized tasks and perform them simultaneously. Moreover, thanks to its redundancy, a robot team is able to compensate for a teammate’s failure.” Because of their overlaps, a mission could still be completed even if one of the three robots breaks down during its duties.
The team’s redundancy-focused explorers even won an ESRIC and ESA Space Resources Challenge, which tasked competitors with locating and identifying minerals placed throughout a test area modeled after the lunar surface. In taking first place, the jury provided another year of funding to expand both their number and variety of robots.
