What to Do
Before beginning this activity, research a planet like Mars, and then use the information to create a planetary landscape. Use remote-controlled cars or programmable robots to navigate and explore through the terrain. To simulate teleoperation of a remote robot, use a video camera. The camera can be mounted on the robot or on a tripod viewing the whole terrain. Operate your robot using the view on a television monitor. There are Internet sites which permit you to control robots in different parts of the country.
