Description
Summary:: In January 2000 the Nomad robot searched an area of blue ice in Antarctica and autonomously classified 5 in-situmeteorites. The robotic capabilities of search and target identification, coupled with the scientific capabilities of analysis andclassification of rocks in an extreme environment were made possible by the integration of many different technologies forboth hardware and software.
