Hey everyone, welcome to Geeksvana Live! This week we are joined by a very special guest, Dr. Pascal Lee to talk about his work to take man to Mars! Taking drone with them!
Dr. Lee is the founder and Chairman of the Mars Institute, Director of the Haughton Mars Project and Senior Planetary Scientist with the SETI Institute. Working with colleagues and partners across a range of companies, to develop amongst other innovations the astronaut smart glove, which enables control of a drone from inside a spacesuit!
This human machine interface provides accurate control of machines like drones, meaning drone flight on a manned Mars mission will not only be possible but essential. We also discuss the first lava tube cave to be 3D mapped, achieved with some very clever drone technology.
