While temperatures on the moon drop to -180°C at night and rise above 100°C during the day, robotic systems have to withstand these extreme conditions. Without protection, electronic components fail, batteries discharge rapidly and mechanical components can break. Wiebke Brinkmann and Dr. Mehmed Yüksel from the DFKI Robotics Innovation Center show which innovative technologies are being developed to prepare robots for their missions in space. They will explain how intelligent thermal management systems, special insulation materials and autonomous energy management solutions help robots to survive extreme temperature fluctuations. They also provide insights into the role of artificial intelligence, which enables robots to orient themselves independently on the lunar surface and react to unexpected challenges.
Science Goes Public! – Experience science in the pub
Science Goes Public! brings science to where it can best be experienced - in the middle of life. The popular science series presents exciting research topics in an entertaining way in a relaxed atmosphere. The events take place twice a year in selected pubs and bars in Bremerhaven and Bremen.
After the lecture, visitors will have the opportunity to talk to the researchers.
