HMPResearchStation
Dr Matthew Deans, from the Intelligent Robotics Group (IRG) at NASA Ames, introduces his team for the K10 Experiment this HMP field season, followed by a robot montage! The role of the K10 rover at HMP-2010 is to try to understand how to use a robotic rover to follow up behind humans. This experiment is led by Dr Terry Fong and his team at NASA Ames Research Center. They are remotely operating the K10 robot from Moffett Field, CA. The K10 is obtaining maps of the terrain above and below ground with a variety of instruments.
At 2:36 the K10 robot is lifted onto the Mars-1 Humvee Rover with a crane built by John Schutt (HMP Camp Manager). Dr Pascal Lee, Director of HMP (NASA Ames, Mars Institute, SETI Institute) and his dog, Ping Pong, make an appearance as well.

Super cool video about the Mars Rover research taking place in Canada's great white north!
supper cool video!
yeh better test that in a deserted island in Canada with really nice easy conditions before sending that piece of tin shit to outer space! hahahahahahahahahaha
I just realized the rovers all kinda look like the robot in Short Circuit.
