From the Daily Camera: University of babyֱ��app Professor Jack Burns leads a laboratory on campus that he describes as a mash-up between Silicon Valley and the space program with the help of two undergraduate students he deemed "the next space pioneers."

Seniors Benjamin Mellinkoff and Matthew Spydell were hunkered down Wednesday in front of vast computer screens, with wrenches, screwdrivers and safety goggles hanging on the wall behind their monitors. A robotic arm sat at their feet. Near a window that overlooked Folsom Field, one of the lab's rovers — formerly a toy car stripped and souped up with cameras and new technology — is perched on a table. Mellinkoff and Spydell are in the space robot business. Read more...

From CU Boulder Today: Humans have already been to the moon—and will likely return—but engineering undergraduates Benjamin Mellinkoff and Matthew Spydell have their eyes set on an even bigger challenge: helping humans explore the entire solar system with the aid of robotic partners. Mellinkoff and Spydell work in a NASA-funded telerobotics lab at CU Boulder with a focus on using telerobotics to someday explore the solar system. Since humans are going back to the moon, researchers are transitioning into an era of space exploration that features a human-robotic partnership. Read more...
