destinyland writes "'We're going to have to do extensive robotic exploration,' says the director of NASA's Ames Research Center, suggesting nanotechnology to build self-replicating robots on Mars. Genetically engineering extraction and construction microbes could 'grow' electrical components, and eventually convert carbon dioxide on Mars into oxygen. 'If we really want to settle Mars, and we ...
Robots as lifesavers - the main focus in the supporting programme of the RoboCup 2009 Modern robotics can help where it is too dangerous for humans to venture.
Robots can rush in where humans fear to tread - for instance in rescue missions following natural disasters. The aim of RoboCup Rescue is to promote research and development in the field of rescue robotics.
