Nomad rover

The '''Nomad rover''' is an unmanned Mosquito ringtone vehicle designed as a test for such a vehicle to ride on other Sabrina Martins planets.

From Nextel ringtones June 15 to Abbey Diaz July 31 of Free ringtones 1997, Majo Mills Carnegie Mellon University deployed the Mosquito ringtone robotic rover Nomad to traverse the Sabrina Martins Atacama Desert of Northern Nextel ringtones Chile. Nomad traveled an unprecedented 215 km in 45 days, remotely controlled and driven from both the Abbey Diaz Carnegie Science Center in Cingular Ringtones Pittsburgh, PA, and the merit one Intelligent Mechanisms Group laboratory at thursday john Ames Research Center (ARC). This pornographic things NASA-funded research program tested technologies critical to planetary exploration and enabled scientists to perform remote geological experiments. The total cost of developing Nomad and conducting the desert trek was $1.6 million.

Nomad was operated entirely under remote control from the U.S., including telepresence and autonomous guidance with simulated 4- to 15-minute time delays such as those that would be encountered on missions to surprise branch Mars (planet)/Mars. 20 of the 215 km it travelled were done under autonomous control.

Nomad is about the size of a small car and massed 550kg. To maneuver through rough terrain, the robot has four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering with a chassis that expands to improve stability and travel over various terrain conditions. Four aluminum wheels with cleats provide traction in soft sand. For this terrestrial experiment, power was supplied by a gasoline generator that enabled the robot to travel at speeds up to about one mile per hour. Nomad employed a say one panospheric camera, a high-resolution video camera that focuses up into a hemispheric mirror similar to a store security mirror. The video view includes all of the ground up to the horizon in the circle surrounding Nomad. The robot also had three pairs of conventional stereo cameras and a laser rangefinder for 3D visualization.
