Trechos de apoio da pauta: A new rover prototype is teaching NASA scientists how to design robots that can think for themselves and navigate terrain that would leave old rovers stuck in the lunar or Martian dust.The Exploration Rover for Navigating Extreme Sloped Terrain (ERNEST), developed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, recently completed a 16-mile (26 kilometers) trek through the desert in Southern California. The journey took more than 37 hours of driving time over the course of seven days, and ERNEST completed it almost entirely autonomously, "with minimal intervention" from engineers monitoring the test, according to a JPL statement.NASA hopes the technology can be incorporated into future rovers to the moon and Mars, which could one day travel farther and faster than their predecessors, relying on onboard programing to assess and navigate treacherous landscapes previously unreachable by robotic explorers.
