Robotics Algorithms Provide Nutritional Guidelines

Sojourner was perhaps the crowning achievement of the NASA Space Telerobotics Program. The Space Telerobotics Program, a collaboration among Ames Research Center, Johnson Space Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and multiple universities, focused on developing remote-controlled robotics for three main purposes: on-orbit assembly and servicing, science payload tending, and planetary surface robotics. The overarching goal was to create robots that could be guided to build structures in space, monitor scientific experiments, and, scout distant planets in advance of human explorers.
