XBR-05
Summary
Day by day scientific and technological advances are growing fast, answering our doubts and creating new ones. Which leads us to think how far can we go?We trust that with our imagination, creativity and above all curiosity we are able to achieve those things that we previously believed were impossible.That is why we developed our tool to contribute a little to a great unknown. AT ANY TIME THERE WAS LIFE ON MARS?With the XBR-05 we help Rovers run less danger in hard-to-reach areas, preventing them from stagnating in sand dunes, helping in the cleaning and maintenance of solar panels and collecting information.
How We Addressed This Challenge
We have created a robotic arm for been implemented in the Ingenuity or future generetions of flying drons. With the objetive of aligerate the jobs of the rovers to reduse stagnation in sand dunes, also help to know the interior of the craters that the rover can`t reach in order to keep the integrity of the robot.
the objetive of this tool is recolect small samples of the surface to provide more information to the scientists .
How We Developed This Project
At the moment to see the flaws of the last rover we hope to contribute whith the functioning of it.
With this in mind and watching the models of the official NASA page and with help of 3D tools, whe tried to create a robot arm to the fliying drons, to ease the recolection of samples for complete the function of take them to the rover. The objetive is to create a tool with the versatility enough to achive varius functions that are imposibles for the rover by itself.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
We used the information bring from the NASA website, to inspire our model. That helps us to model something similar to what have been done before, but in a completely different concept.
