6. ResearchUndertake research on a particular robot project ( e.g. Mars Exploration project). Write a report on this project, including things such as describing how the robot works, what tasks it performs; how the sensors and actuators work.  Also discuss issues such as how important the project  is, what the project aims to achieve and whether there is an ethical concern with the introduction of this robot.  (Other examples are robots for medical reasons, Nanorobots, or any new development in the field of Robotics)

Mars Exploration Project.

The robot is very safisticated, it is battery powerd and it can withstand high pressures. The robot records all the time and its designed to pick up samples from mars and bring them back to earth for testing, it moves or tracks and has claw like hands. It has a storage container to keep its findings and it has the camera up top so that we can look at what its looking at from here. The project is important because this can help us determine whether there is really life on mars, it can help as decifer whether or not an organism would be able to survive in these conditions. The robot has tracks like on a tank, so that it can move through any material and wont get damaged or anything. The robot has sensors all over it, this is to ensure that the robot doesnt run into anything because they cant afford for the robot to get damaged in any way. It needs to be able to know its surroundings. The ethical concern with this robot is that its very human like and people argue that humans are trying to play god by creating these robots.
