🚀 Exciting Innovation in Space Robotics! 🤖 Meet Mori3, the Origami-inspired robot designed to revolutionize space missions! 🌌 Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have unveiled Mori3, short for "Modular Origami Robot 3," an ingenious creation aimed at tackling the complexities of space robotics. 🛰️ Mori3 boasts a remarkable shape-shifting capability, enabling it to morph from a flat surface into a 3D polygon. This unique mechanism empowers it to roll and move in multiple directions, all without the need for wheels or legs, which can be less effective in the microgravity of space. 🔄 Inspired by the art of origami, this robot is crafted from rigid panels connected by hinges, and it responds to thermal actuation – applying heat to trigger movement. 🌟 But what makes Mori3 truly special is its versatility. Its shape-shifting ability isn't just for locomotion; it can envelop objects or create temporary barriers, making it invaluable for repair and assembly tasks in space, where adaptability is paramount. 🛠️ Mori3 is designed to be lightweight and compact for easy transport to space. Once deployed, it navigates the challenging environment of spacecraft or space stations, where traditional robots may struggle. 🚀 And the applications of Mori3 extend beyond space! Imagine using this innovative technology in search and rescue operations, allowing it to maneuver through debris or confined spaces that are inaccessible to humans or conventional robots. 🚨 The EPFL team is dedicated to refining Mori3, with the goal of enhancing its performance and reliability for future space missions, opening up new horizons in space exploration. 🌠 #spaceexploration #robotics #innovation #epfl #mori3

Check out this incredible photograph of Rover 'MarkX Dhruva', designed and developed by Team RoverX for the International Rover Challenge (IRC) 2025! The judges have selected this photo for the Social Media Bonus Task. The winner will be determined by the number of likes received on this post within 72 hours of its posting. So, if you like the design, please double-tap! The International Rover Challenge (IRC) by the Space Robotics Society is a competition that challenges university students to conceptualize, design, develop, and operate a next-generation space rover that can assist astronauts and perform specific missions in simulated Mars conditions. The objective of the competition is to provide students with a real-world interdisciplinary engineering experience that combines practical engineering skills with soft skills such as business planning and project management. #SpaceRoboticsSociety #SPROS #SpaceRobotics #IRC #RoverChallenge #InternationalRoverChallenge #IRC2025 #SprosWeek

🤖Technology Monday🤖 ❗University Rover Challenge❗ The University Rover Challenge (URC) by the Mars Society is a robotics competition for university level students that challenges teams to design and build a rover that would be of use to early explorers on Mars. Specific scenario details change each year as teams master given tasks and to encourage flexibility in designs and improve the capabilities of the rovers each year. Rovers are required to perform tele-operated or autonomous tasks that would assist astronauts in the field. Tele-operated tasks are performed from control stations with no direct view of the rover, only what can be determined via video and data links from the rover or sensors deployed by the rover. It is assumed the operators are also on Mars so there is no time-delay in communications. Here is example of rover made by Students' Robotics Association (Koło Naukowe Robotyków KNR) from Poland. I'm impressed - great engineering! What do you think? Do you have examples from other countries? #innovation #technology

What about testing this and more complex scenarios using XR?
