Title: AI developed for Mars explorers
Post by: Rick on Jun 16, 2005, 19:39:00
A computer system designed to look for life on Mars has been tested at a site on Earth resembling a Martian region being explored by one of Nasa's rovers.

The system, to be worn by an astronaut, underwent a trial at red sandstone beds in Spain with similarities to Meridiani Planum, where Opportunity rover landed.
