Lockheed Martin, General Motors Team to Further Lunar Exploration with Autonomous Moon Rover

Lockheed Martin, General Motors Team to Further Lunar Exploration with Autonomous Moon Rover

Lockheed Martin, General Motors Team to Further Lunar Exploration with Autonomous Moon Rover

Only 5% of the Moon’s surface has been explored by the human race, and to reach the other 95%, NASA astronauts on the Artemis program are going to need some serious wheels.

That’s why Lockheed Martin and General Motors have teamed up to design the next generation of lunar rovers, capable of transporting astronauts across farther distances on the lunar surface. Unlike the Apollo days when the rovers only traveled four miles from the landing site, Artemis astronauts will go farther and explore more of the Moon’s surface than ever before to conduct critical scientific research.

This type of mobility is a huge step – or a giant leap – toward enabling and sustaining long-term exploration of the lunar surface. The science that Artemis astronauts will conduct will help NASA better understand the fundamental planetary processes underlying our solar system, and will help us better understand and protect Earth.

Not only will these vehicles be well-equipped to go the distance, they will also be driver optional. Autonomous, self-driving systems would enable the vehicle to operate with or without humans onboard, and pave the way for future human missions, commercial payload services and enhanced scientific utility.

“These next-generation rover concepts will dramatically extend the exploration range of astronauts as they perform high-priority science investigation on the Moon that will ultimately impact humanity’s understanding of our place in the solar system,” said Rick Ambrose, executive vice president, Lockheed Martin Space.

A Lockheed Martin-GM rover would be able to preposition itself autonomously near a landing site prior to the astronauts’ arrival, and astronauts would have the ability to task the rover from the Human Landing System or the orbiting lunar Gateway to conduct science operations without a driver. This enables NASA to fit more science into a smaller amount of time, and allows us to uncover the critical information that the other 95% of the lunar surface may hold.

Zooming on the Moon

Driving on the Moon is not your average off-roading experience. The new lunar rover concept would be expertly outfitted to drive over rugged terrain in the dark and cold.

Unlike Earth and even Mars, days and nights on the Moon are just under 14 days long. The Lockheed Martin-GM rovers would be designed to survive and even operate in the two-week long night that sees temperatures of down to -280 degrees Fahrenheit, and day-time temperatures of 260 Fahrenheit.

“The biggest difference is, when you design for the Moon and for space applications, the force of gravity is different and has to be taken into account,” said Madhu Raghavan, Global Research & Development Group Manager at GM. “There are extreme temperature swings, and the radiation in space becomes a challenge in terms of systems design. You’re also operating in a vacuum and designing your systems to withstand the shock of the actual launch.”

The vehicles’ design would expertly mitigate these challenges. Lockheed Martin has built multiple deep space robotic spacecraft that have gone to the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, asteroids, comets and other destinations throughout the solar system.

“We’ve led missions to other planetary bodies for decades, building spacecraft that can survive the high radiation environment, cold temperatures, and yet be very light and very reliable,” said Kirk Shireman, vice president, Lunar Exploration Campaigns at Lockheed Martin. “This is what we specialize in, and we are more than capable of meeting and exceeding this challenge for NASA.”

A Dynamic Duo

With both brains and brawn, the Lockheed Martin-GM alliance brings together innovations from both companies to make transformative vehicles, drawing on strong legacies of engineering and performance from both companies.

“GM is a world leader in automobile manufacturing and technology, and Lockheed Martin is a world leader in spacecraft. The two companies joining forces to build a mobility system on the Moon just makes perfect sense.”

 Kirk Shireman, vice president, Lunar Exploration Campaigns at Lockheed Martin

Lockheed Martin will lead the team by leveraging its legacy and history working with NASA.

“Our goal is to build a vehicle that is affordable, that exceeds our customer requirements, and to do it rapidly. Digital tools are how we achieve that,” Shireman said. “We’ve demonstrated already across programs and proposals the speed, affordability and reliability that digital tools enable, and we fully expect to leverage and expand on that experience with this program.”

GM brings to the table decades of experience designing for on and off-road environments, a strong focus on quality and human safety, and a shared mission.

“There’s a lot of synergy between our two companies – we complement each other well,” said Jeff Ryder, vice president, Growth & Strategy at GM Defense. “The lunar rover designs for extreme off-road environments have a lot of similarities with our tactical military vehicles on the GM Defense side. It’s great to work with a company like Lockheed Martin who has a shared mission of supporting the warfighter.”

GM brings to the table state-of-the-art battery-electric technologies and propulsion systems that are central to the company’s extensive electric vehicle strategy. Research from the development of battery and power systems for the lunar rover may ultimately spur advances on electric vehicles back on Earth, too.

“Because the operating conditions are so extreme in space, our work on this project will help us make safer and better batteries back on Earth,” Raghavan said. “The Moon and Mars are, of course, totally unstructured, unlined roads. Designing for that environment will ultimately just make our EV capabilities on Earth that much stronger.”

Enabling a Celestial Human Future

As it was during the Apollo era, every minute of the Artemis astronauts’ time on the lunar surface will be carefully planned in order to maximize the science value of having humans back on the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.

So, what is NASA hoping to uncover on the uncharted territory that remains of the Moon? The Moon is often referred to as the cornerstone of the solar system. Scientific investigations on the Artemis program will help NASA understand the risks and potential resources of the Moon’s South Pole, where they hope to establish the Artemis Base Camp concept by the end of the decade.

“The technology has evolved so much in the last 50 years, to the point where we can now use autonomy for these vehicles to aid in the astronauts’ missions,” Shireman said. “Autonomy will enable these rovers to carry tools and samples, and allows the crews to do more in the time they have there on the surface.”

To achieve our ultimate goal of utilizing the resources on the Moon to sustain a human presence, Shireman says we’ll need to have a reliable way of transporting those resources. This is the first major step in that direction.

“I’ve worked on many space programs in the past, but this isn’t just another space mission,” said Ryder. “It’s the return to, and permanent habitation of the Moon. It’s not just cool or interesting –it’s historical. It’s a major milestone in human activity in space.”

According to Raghavan, he’s seen a major influx of job applicants for open positions on his project team. “This is the stuff you dream about as a kid in science class,” he said. “People want to be part of this.”

Other scientific activities that surface mobility could enable include field geology, sample collection and return, and deployed experiments. These investigations are conducted in the hopes that they may increase our understanding of how the Moon formed and evolved, how it interacts with the Sun, and how water and other resources arrived at the Moon, and how they are transported and preserved.

These are all questions that, once answered, will help us sustain life on the Moon. The Lockheed Martin-GM team stands re

ady to autonomously chauffeur the astronauts to the dark regions of the Moon to advance our human future in space.

“I always think about alliances, and how you have to start with something real,” Ryder said. “As we go do this, it’ll likely lead to  additional opportunities. It’s a great pathway going forward, and I’m sure there will be more opportunities for our two companies to come together to further human spaceflight.”

Los robots de Boston Dynamics ahora saben bailar

Los robots de Boston Dynamics ahora saben bailar

A lo largo de los últimos los robots de Boston Dynamics nos han mostrado de qué son capaces.

Si un día los robots se apoderan del mundo van a bailar sobre nuestras tumbas, ahora también lietaralmente. Boston Dynamics, una de las empresas más prometedoras en este sector, nos muestra las nuevas habilidades de sus robots: bailar. Con la canción ‘Do You Love Me?’ de fondo los tres robots de la empresa bailan durante más de dos minutos con un equilibrio y una coordinación sorprendente.

El vídeo comienza con Atlas (el robot humanoide) bailando en una coreografía con otro Atlas. Posteriormente se suma Spot (el perro robot) para captar todas las miradas y finalmente aparece también el tercer robot de Boston Dynamics que se mueve sobre dos ruedas manteniendo siempre el equilibrio. Es momento de disfrutar del vídeo:

Lo cierto es que no es la primera vez que Boston Dynamics muestra a unos de sus artilugios bailar. Dos años atrás vimos a Spot bailando ‘Uptown Funk’. También lo vimos bailar en un estadio recientemente. Sin embargo, en este vídeo se aprecia en todo su esplendor las habilidades de los tres robots para saltar, mantenerse sobre una pierna y balancearse suavemente sin perder el equilibrio en ningún momento. Atlas, por mucho que nos pese, baila mejor que muchos de nosotros.

Todo ello les ha servido para demostrar que hay un futuro prometedor en este campo. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo también se ha dado otra situación curiosa: la empresa ha cambiado de dueño en tres ocasiones. Primero fue adquirida por Google, luego vendida a SoftBank y recientemente ha pasado a formar parte de Hyundai.

De momento Boston Dynamics ha puesto a la venta a Spot y ya se utiliza en entornos reales como por la policía, estudios de arquitectura o en medicina. Atlas y Handle (el robot bípedo) siguen en fase de desarrollo y siendo sólo prototipos.

GERMAN BIONIC CRAY X EXOSKELETON

Teetering on the edge of being a dystopian or utopian future, this suit will make it possible for workers to plug directly into their workplace’s Internet of Things and don augmented reality and Covid-19 resistant face shields. Armin G. Schmidt, CEO of German Bionic, tells PR Newswire that it will enable companies to increase the productivity of their workers — assumedly all for the same weekly wage.

GERMAN BIONIC CRAY X EXOSKELETON

“Particularly system-relevant industries, such as logistics and freight, which have been under enormous pressure since the beginning of the pandemic, can now strengthen their employees’ backs with our new devices,” says Schmidt.

Somewhere between the appearance of a serious hiking backpack and a sky diving suit, this exoskeleton is worn on workers’ backs like a backpack and strapped in front with a harness. Extra supports extend over the wearers’ hips to provide additional mechanical support.

This fourth generation of German Bionics’ Cray X exoskeleton suit is lighter than ever with its carbon fiber frame.German Bionics

This exoskeleton suit works by using motors to support and offset up to 62 pounds (28 kg) of weight lifted by a worker. If a worker were to lift thirty items per hour — roughly one item every two minutes — at a weight of 62 pounds each, the exoskeleton would offset 100 percent of that weight. Over the course of an eight-hour workday, German Bionics estimates that this would be equivalent to lifting four cars (or six tons.) This 8-hour period is also equivalent to a single charge of the suit.

According to German Bionics, this exoskeleton weighs in at about sixteen-pounds, or about the weight of your over-stuffed college backpack.

In addition to simply improving workers’ health by reducing the number of musculoskeletal injuries due to lifting injuries, German Bionics also claims that it could reduce nearly a quarter of related workers’ sick-leave as well, keeping workers more continuously productive.

These suits can also be accessorized with German Bionics’ smart, augmented reality visor. In addition to helping keep workers safe from airborne containments — like Covid-19 respiratory droplets –, these displays are also designed to provide heads-up instructions to workers directly in their line of sight, increasing productivity.

This augmented reality smart visor can keep workers (relatively) safer from Covid-19 and also beam working instructions directly into their line of sight.German Bionics

When it comes to pricing these suits, German Bionics has a flexible “Robotics-as-a-Service” pricing model that is designed to scale for different business needs. The lowest monthly cost for an exoskeleton suit is just over $785 — for a 24-month contract. This standard price comes bundled with one initial day of on-site training and additional one-day training once every six-months.

Update: This article has been updated to reflect new information from German Bionics on the weight of the carbon fiber exoskeleton.

UNITREE A1, el último robot cuadrúpedo

La compañía china de robótica Unitree presentó su robot más nuevo, el A1, en el Consumer Electronics Show (CES) a principios de 2020. Ahora, Unitree está utilizando las redes sociales para mostrar los trucos que pueden hacer los nuevos robots.

UNITREE A1, el último robot cuadrúpedo

El robot es pequeño, de aproximadamente un pie de ancho y dos pies de largo, y puede moverse sorprendentemente rápido. Unitree dice que la velocidad de marcha del robot es de unos diez pies por segundo o siete millas por hora. Caminar no es lo único que pueden hacer, ya que los videos los muestran realizando todo tipo de saltos y volteretas, gracias a las articulaciones flexibles y un motor fuerte. Cada pie incluso tiene sensores que captan información para enviar al motor para que los movimientos sean más eficientes.

El A1 pesa alrededor de 26 libras, incluida su batería, y tiene una duración de batería de hasta dos horas. También puede transportar hasta 11 libras, con potencial como robot de entrega. Una cámara inteligente permite la transmisión de video en tiempo real, con muchos usos públicos y privados potenciales para el robot.

El A1 ya se está comparando con el robot Spot de Boston Dynamic, posiblemente el robot de cuatro patas más conocido, con diseños que reflejan movimientos realistas que se asemejan a personas y animales, lo que lleva a un extraño efecto de valle que puede incomodar a los espectadores.

Por ahora, Unitree parece estar mirando hacia la propiedad privada, tuiteando que el robot podría ser una “futura mascota” y que están “corriendo contigo hacia el futuro”. La compañía también enfatiza que costará menos de $ 10,000, aunque no menciona un precio específico.

Milrem Robotics e InnoVfoam desarrollan bomberos robóticos

Milrem Robotics, líder de la robótica terrestre europea e InnoVfoam, especialista en tecnología de extinción de espuma, están desarrollando sistemas robóticos de extinción de incendios para ayudar o incluso reemplazar a los bomberos en los entornos más hostiles.

Milrem Robotics e InnoVfoam desarrollan bomberos robóticos

Las soluciones de lucha contra incendios desarrolladas conjuntamente combinan varios sistemas de lucha contra incendios de vehículos terrestres no tripulados (UGV) de Milrem Robotics e InnoVfoams, específicamente sistemas de dosificación de espuma y monitores de incendios.

Los Sistemas de Rescate Multiscope fueron diseñados para proporcionar una plataforma duradera y flexible con cargas de Plug’n Play específicas de rescate para varias misiones de rescate. La plataforma modular puede soportar condiciones difíciles y puede llegar a áreas que son difíciles de alcanzar con vehículos más grandes o demasiado peligrosos para los bomberos y los servicios de rescate. La funcionalidad de Multiscope se puede modificar en el sitio, lo que amplía el uso de la plataforma.

Los robots de extinción de incendios son operados de forma remota por bomberos que permanecen a una distancia segura mientras reciben una descripción completa del área de operación a través de varias cámaras, es decir, térmica e infrarroja, y sensores a bordo del robot que pueden detectar adicionalmente fugas de gas o sustancias químicas.

Los monitores de incendio se pueden operar independientemente del UGV gracias a cámaras separadas en el UGV y los monitores que permiten que el vehículo cambie de posición mientras se mantiene una visión general perfecta del incendio. El sistema también puede complementarse con sistemas preventivos y represivos adicionales y funciones autónomas.

Además de los incendios en entornos urbanos, hay incendios forestales y paisajísticos a gran escala cada año que ponen en peligro el medio ambiente, la vida de los habitantes y especialmente los bomberos. Los sistemas que estamos desarrollando con InnoVfoam pueden aliviar los peligros que enfrentan los bomberos y ayudar a contener los incendios más rápido ”, dijo Kuldar Väärsi, CEO de Milrem Robotics.

El Multiscope Rescue tiene una capacidad de carga útil máxima de 1200 kg y una fuerza de tracción de 21 000 N, lo que le permite estar equipado con una variedad de cargas útiles específicas para combatir incendios, incluidos tanques de espuma o agua, pero también drones atados para una mejor conciencia de la situación.

Los bomberos robóticos también pueden lanzar grandes cuerpos de bomberos para alcanzar áreas y entrar en estructuras que son inaccesibles con vehículos más grandes o pueden colapsar encima de los bomberos. En caso de incendios forestales o paisajísticos, los bomberos robot pueden ser lanzados desde el aire para comenzar a limitar la propagación de incendios.

Los monitores de incendios InnoVfoams pueden dispensar agua y espuma desde 2000 hasta 20 000 litros por minuto.

El primer producto conjunto presentará la unidad de deslizamiento del monitor de incendios InnoVfoams Hydra en el Rescate de Multiscopios.
