Awesome, besides being an effective robot tasks it does, I find it amazing design and quality construction to withstand G-forces of takeoff, travel, reentry and landing on Mars. It is certainly a role model is a robot designed to do something and do it! Here we may distinguish between robots and robots for specific tasks or adptativos versatile.
The one thing that fascinates me about Curiosity are the wheels. Of all the things they could have used to move over the desert like terrain of Mars - TANK TREADS - LEG CRAWLER COMBINATIONS - BALL WHEELS etc NASA chose a fairly conventional wheel configuration (x 6). I'm guessing those wheels can turn 180 degs to enable the robot to move sideways. I can't wait to see this fantastic robot making it's way up the side of the crater it's in.
I think robotmaker worked on the mars rover
