Tango smartphone successor to the Nexus S
The astronauts will walk the first two smartphones through the ISS to establish a 3D mapping scene. Then they connect to mobile Spheres which will use these data to navigate throughout the resort independently. From the summer of 2013, Google worked with NASA to adapt the terminals separated into two parts side by side so that the interface and the camera are in front of the user. Cubic robots will use WiFi to communicate with computers on the ISS and those ground crews at NASA. They may include transmitting images and videos in real time, helping astronauts to monitor the different modules of the space station.
If all goes as planned, the Spheres could be entrusted with certain routine tasks to free the crew. It will be video equipment inspections, measurements of the noise level, flow and quality of the air . kids coloring pages This is not the first time a smartphone is connected to the small robots. In 2011, it is a Samsung Nexus S which was grafted to the three Spheres. With the powerful new smartphones Tango project, NASA hopes to take another step closer to creating true mobile robot assistants for astronauts.
