…infections,” he said. “We're reaching out to a lot of commercial clients, as well as NASA and the European Space Agency.” “We're also looking at the nuclear decommissioning sector, where we identified some important use cases, such as the sorting and segregation of nuclear materials,” Hussein said. “All nuclear-powered countries have environmental challenges with waste. In the U.K., the Sellafield project, at $100 billion to $120 billion, is the biggest environmental project in Europe.”

…Hyundai, and Samsung solve difficult manipulation problems. NASA recently awarded PickNik an Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant for robot arm motion planning in microgravity environments. The company has also announced the development of a commercialized open-core model of MoveIt, branded MoveIt Studio. It will focus on supervised autonomy and teleoperation to provide localized autonomous action in high-latency environments with the ability to reduce operator oversight. Formant said its telemetry, analytics, planning, and real-time controls will expedite a…

…Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech for NASA. LEO stands 2.5 ft. tall and is equipped with two legs that have three actuated joints, along with four propeller thrusters mounted at an angle at the robot's shoulders. When a person walks, they adjust the position and orientation of their legs to cause their center of mass to move forward while the body's balance is maintained. LEONARDO.

…missions, and demonstration of new robotics technologies. NASA's Perseverance rover sent data this week indicating that it has successfully cored its first Martian rock. The initial images showed an intact sample present in the tube, but additional images taken after the robot arm acquiried the sample were inconclusive because of poor sunlight conditions. Another round of images with better lighting will be taken before the sample processing continues, said NASA. The Perseverance mission team decided to obtain additional imagery prior…

…its high-performance, closed-cycle liquid rocket engine at NASA’s Stennis Space Center. The company is now working with Velo3D to 3D-print its fuel pump, flight turbine housing parts, and Orbiter pressure vessels. It will make these vessels with the second Velo3D Sapphire metal AM system. “Velo3D really delivered on our turbopump, including its 3D-printed rotating impeller, all of which functioned perfectly the very first time at 30,000 rpm, using the first prototype,” said Haot. The sky's the limit for Velo3D “We’re…
