My previous post was inexplicable truncated. Here's the whole post. I believe that many small robots is the only viable method to explore planets because it allows redundance as a feasible option. The risks involved in a single large robot are far to great to take considering the numerous variables involved in planetary exploration. As an example NASA used TWO voyagers and TWO martian landers in the mid-seventies. Numerous, small, simple robots should be the approach. Again computer architects have made the move from CISC to RISC. Now it's time for robotics to do the same! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Paulos Robotics Laboratory paulos@robotics.berkeley.edu University of California, Berkeley (510) 642-3248 Berkeley, CA 94720 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
