The Next Steps for Sampling on Perseverance

Posted by in categories: business, engineering, space

I will always remember the moments around our first sampling attempt. Longtime friend (and Sampling System Chief Engineer) Louise Jandura and I were in the operations area awaiting the next data downlink. It was “so far, so good” with our earlier morning results showing we had achieved a full-depth borehole. Other members of the team began to filter in as images of the sealed sample tube came up on the ops room monitors. We were all starting to get that feeling you can get in this business when a big milestone comes together because, at first look, it appeared to be our first cored sample. But within minutes, the team noted that the volume probe indicated no sample was in the tube, and we quickly switched to problem-solving mode – once again trying to solve another problem tossed our way from the surface of Mars.

Our team has been working hard over the last 12 days to both ensure we have adequately assessed the data from the first coring attempt and also developed a solid plan forward. After further review of the engineering and imaging data, our final conclusion is the same as our initial assessment: The rock simply wasn’t our kind of rock.

The Sampling and Caching System aboard the rover performed as expected – quite well, as a matter of fact. However, the rock we chose for this first effort did not. The act of coring into it resulted in the rock breaking apart into powder and small fragments of material, which were not retained in the tube due to their size. Although we had successfully acquired over 100 cores in a range of different test rocks on Earth, we had not encountered a rock in our test suite that behaved in quite this manner.

Are you ready?


After dominating the electric vehicle market and throwing his hat into the billionaire space race, Tesla boss Elon Musk announced the latest frontier he’s aiming to conquer: humanoid robots.

The irascible entrepreneur said Thursday he would have an initial prototype of an androgynous “Tesla Bot” by next year.

Elon Musk unveils plans for humanoid robot that uses Tesla’s artificial intelligence

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, robotics/AI, space

I’d like to see anything as far as a Humanoid Robot. But, at this point i think it would be a mistake to try and re invent the wheel. Boston Dynamics last sold for 2 billion dollars, a steal really, and a shame they didn’t try to bring it back to the USA. Anyways, as far as Humanoid Robots, unless he is willing to solve the issue of building robotic hands that can perfectly match human hands this wont go anywhere. Once that is done though you have a realistic labor force for the Moon and Mars.


Tesla Inc. showcased its artificial-intelligence systems on Thursday amid renewed criticism for Autopilot, its most-talked-about AI-based system, as it unveiled its next big project: a humanoid robot.

At the company’s first AI Day, Chief Executive Elon Musk gave a preview of the Tesla Bot, a 5-foot-8-inch robot with a screen for a face, weighing about 125 pounds and capable of moving about 5 mph — slow enough for people to run away from and small enough so a human could overpower it, Musk joked. He said a prototype is expected next year.

Top 10 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Trends for 2021

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, robotics/AI

Whenever one talks about technology that is revolutionizing the world around you, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is always on the top of the list. In fact, as per the study conducted by IDC, the spending on AI technologies is expected to increase to $97.9 billion by 2023. While the world struggles with the Pandemic, AI technology is constantly growing. Why? You ask. Well, with organizations and companies operating from home, AI is evolving more every day to help them automate their day-to-day activity.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a branch of Computer science that is focused on building smart machines. This is the technology that enables machines to think and act with human intelligence. While most of you might be aware of what AI is, still do you know that AI along with the rising technologies ML (Machine Learning) and Deep Learning have made and are making several trendsetting changes in the market.

Here, we are going to list the latest AI (Artificial Intelligence) trends that are lighting a spark in 2021. Let’s start the list without any ado.
