Early in the settlement of the Martian frontier, human labor will be a very scarce commodity. It will be highly desirable to make use of robotics and automated systems wherever possible. Join us for discussion of some of these technologies. This will also serve as organization, planning and design meetings for a robotics hardware demo project. The intention is to make use of a robotic arm which has been donated to the Mars Foundation to create a system which is capable of laying a masonry wall. If this sounds up your alley, join us for these meetings.
