Digi Wireless Module Transforms NASA Robot Into Productive Member of Space Station Crew
Digi Wireless Module Transforms NASA Robot Into Productive Member of Space Station Crew Astronauts' time and work is extremely valuable, but because of the conditions in which they perform their work, it's also extremely limited. NASA needed to develop Robonauts – dexterous humanoid robots – to help humans work and explore in space. Working side by side with humans or going where the risks are too great for people, Robonauts will expand NASA's ability for construction and discovery in space. Business Challenge Somewhat mundane tasks are taking up precious time that astronauts could be using to explore space. For example, air quality testing requires astronauts to hold air monitors still for extended periods of time – a difficult challenge in zero gravity and time-consuming procedure for as
