NASA's Robonaut 2 Can't Use Its Space Legs Upgrade
BarbaraHudson writes: Robonaut 2, now in orbit on board the International Space Station, has run into problems with the software controlling its new legs. From the article: "The machine ran into a few technical errors. According to NASA, the ground teams deployed Robonaut's software and received telemetry from the robot, but were unable to obtain the correct commands for the leg movement, which are vital to performing every day tasks aboard the International Space Station. Ground teams have begun assessing how to move forward with this issue, though it is unclear if they currently have a fix in mind."
"We can fix it, but it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg."
Table-ized A.I.
Wouldn't it simply be a matter of fixing or rewriting the software for the legs?
Worst case, if somehow the wiring for the legs is wrong, the astronauts should have some complex device, called a multimeter, to figure out how the legs ARE wired, if it comes down to that.
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
Never trust Version 1.0 of anything.
I can't remember. Does that version have the "Kill all humans" command built-in?
Harrison's Postulate - "For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism"
Robonaut, you got new legs!
In post Patriot Act America, the library books scan you.
I can't remember. Does that version have the "Kill all humans" command built-in?
Hard to tell - we can't seem to locate any of the coders who wrote it.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
