El Robust Robotics Group del afamado Instituto Tecnológico de
Massachusetts está trabajando en vehículos aéreos no tripulados capaces
de orientarse en interiores sin necesidad de
datos de cartografía preexistentes ni sistemas de posicionamiento vía
satélite (GPS); utilizando simplemente medidores de distancia láser
(entre otros sensores) y un cerebro Intel Atom para procesar las rutinas
de inteligencia artificial.

Este verano, lejos de estar de vacaciones, está siendo espectacular en cuanto a presentaciones se refiere. Por un lado el estreno de la aeronave híbrida LEMV*. Por otro lado el vuelo del UCAV X-47B, el uso de alas volantes como aviones no tripulados de combate. Y una vez más, al que me recuerde que es como los aviones de los Horten, ¡habrá que recordarle que también es como los aviones de Northrop! Y es que el mismo sueño se perseguía en ambos lados del atlántico. Similar a esta aeronave es el X-48C, aunque en este caso no se trata de un ala volante, si no de un BWB, Blended Wing Body, un avión en el que fuselaje y ala están totalmente integrados. En teoría se espera que los aviones que sustituyan a los actuales aviones de pasajeros tipo "fuselaje de tubo y alas" sean como éste. Respecto al último vídeo, se describe por si solo, se trata de la primera suelta de bombas realizadas desde el F-35B.

NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity is changing its mind – or rather, NASA is changing Curiosity’s mind for it. The 4X4-sized robot explorer is spending its first weekend on the Red Planet installing a major software update that NASA calls a “brain transplant.” This new software replaces that which Curiosity ran while in transit from Earth and will prepare the rover for exploring the Martian surface...
