When we walk on uneven surfaces as humans, we can sort of detect how the ground is shifting beneath our feet.

A legged robot is capable of the exact same thing.

And what's very cool is that scientists are interested in that data because it tells us things about how that planetary surface formed and how it moves and how it might move in the future.

Thank you for watching!

So my project, my role in the project, or my team's role in this project is to make sure the robot can do sensing and locomotion for the planetary science.

What that means is, one, we want the robot to be able to move from places to places to get to the point where we want to take any measurements that the scientists want.

And two is, ideally we are doing a very novel thing to turn each leg of the robot.

Into a soil or regular sensor so that when the robot is running around, every step we want the robot to be gathering information about the environment.

Moving forward to missions that are going to occur on our moon,

we're going to have humans and robots that are going to be able to do sensing and locomotion.

And we're going to have humans and robots really for the first time on planetary missions working side by side.

And so what the LASI project is doing is really looking forward to that time and considering how should humans and robots collaborate for exploration of planets, particularly where should they go to collect data.

So we put

the

LASI stuff in there.

That's probably high6 And we're looking forward to that work.

So, the ultimate dream is for the robot to help us to explore all these different planetary bodies, right?

So, in order to do that, the robot needs to move better, and collect information better, and make decisions better.

And that's exactly the three components that this project is aiming to address.

Because we have engineers trying to make robots can move better.

We have planetary scientists that can help us to understand the sensing signal from the robot feet through every step.

And then we also connect that signal to the landscape and also the climate.
