Exciting advancements in space exploration are happening right here in #Pittsburgh. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute are developing LORIS, a lightweight robot designed to explore the extreme terrains of other planets. 🌕🔭 LORIS, short for "Lightweight Observation Robot for Irregular Slopes," stands out with its ability to climb vertical and irregular surfaces using multiple small claws equipped with tiny spines. This innovative design allows it to scale surfaces that conventional rovers and astronauts can't reach, making it a potential game-changer for exploring cliffs, caves, and crevasses on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Learn more about this groundbreaking research and how LORIS could help us explore the furthest reaches of our universe via Microsoft: https://lnkd.in/gsCfia9m #SpaceExploration #Robotics #CarnegieMellon #NASA #Innovation #TechNews #FutureOfExploration
