Matthew
[13:53:14] DanielPoynter: Dr. Cummings
sent out an email to everyone in the class, saying how there wont be a quiz
for the 2nd broadcast
[13:54:25] NASAModerator: Si quieren
que yo encuentre sus preguntas para la presentacion, es preferible limitar conversaciones
en este chatroom.
[13:54:34] DanielPoynter: Moderator:
just a tip you might want to share with the users, if you get here early,you
can preload all of the slides, so when the time comes for a slide change in
the presentation, it will load quicker...
[13:56:00] NASATech: The quiz for
the second lecture was posted but it is not required
[13:56:18] MariaBibbs: Hi how are
you all today
[13:57:29] NASAModerator: Thanks
Danie, Excellent idea for all to note!
[13:58:49] PernosDetunaCTJIII: I'm
good
[13:59:52] johnputrino: NASAtech,
this is kind of important, why wasn't the quiz posted in time and why would
it not be required?
[13:59:53] NASAModerator: We will
be starting shortly
[14:00:20] PernosDetunaCTJIII: good
[14:00:23] VitorVianna: ok thankyou
[14:00:28] NASAModerator: The video
has begun!
[14:01:12] NASATech: The instructor
for last week never made one up, and since it wasn't posted sooner it is not
be required by the course professor.
[14:02:06] johnputrino: thank you
[14:05:33] MatthewJohnston: cool
helmet
[14:07:02] MariaBibbs: Robonaut is

you worked with robonaut?
[14:42:26] RHS: What kind of power
supply does it have? battery life? (Nik Krumm, #1)
[14:43:27] JacquelineMehlberg: What
new robotic projects could the advancements from Robonaut lead to?
[14:43:57] BrianWoodworth: Question
2: Are you considering using Robonaut for rescue missions during emergency situations?
[14:43:57] ChrisGabis: Do you know
if fuel cells would have any applications with robots in the future?
[14:44:41] RHS: Why not have the
function of tether and no tether? Getting the best of both worlds (Riley Gorder)
[14:44:51] JacquelineMehlberg: What
work has been done in the program involving A.I.?
[14:45:52] DanPoynter2: Question

[14:49:55] matthewjohnston: question:
how much did robotnount cost?
[14:50:11] DanPoynter2: RHS: whats
your email i have a question for you....
[14:51:19] johnputrino: Which type
of mobility will be the most commonly used for robonaut in its first few years
of applications?
[14:51:36] MariaBibbs: When do you
think robonaut have mobility?
[14:52:19] johnputrino: What type
of sensors are used to tell robonaut how much pressure he is applying to an
object?
[14:52:50] matthewjohnston: ::Pernos::
Question 2: How many lower halves
[14:53:17] matthewjohnston: *(if
any) have been tested with robonaut?
[14:53:47] johnputrino: Is robonaut
able to handle objects as fragile as an egg without breaking them, or will it
only be able to handle tools and other strong equiptment?
[14:54:00] RHS: Wha about heat dissipation
inside robonaut? Temperature control in space environment? (Chris Zweigle)
[14:54:52] ChrisGabis: way to steal
a question johnputrino
[14:56:47] DanPoynter2: Question
3: If you need to test and restest motors and things when the acceleration due
to gravity is vital in the performance, how do you test it on earth, if it is
being built for action on mars, space, etc.?
[14:57:37] johnputrino: how'd i steal
your question?
[14:57:56] MariaBibbs: does robonaut
work fast of slow compared to humans
[14:58:08] RHS: Why design a hand,
when it seems to be easier to make a replaciable tool attacher, such as you
place what tool you need when needed
[14:58:24] RHS: Riley Gorder on that
last question
[14:59:11] DanPoynter2: Question:
Referring to the humanoid robot ASIMO, have you learned anything from the ASIMO
project, or have you thought of the helpfulness/effiecency of working in conjunction
with some commercial R & D company like Honda?
[14:59:15] matthewjohnston: can anyone
talk to robonaut?
[15:00:46] PernosDetunaCTJIII: sounds
painful...
[15:01:03] frank: Vitor?

[15:07:07] PernosDetunaCTJIII: out
of curiosity... why did you take boba fett's helmet for robonaut's head?
[15:07:14] frank: in the middle,
it says quiz... just click on it
[15:07:25] DanPoynter2: what are
the specifics things you have learned from this projet that might help budding
hobby roboticists?

(sp) and robotics = future
[15:15:27] johnputrino: you guys
haven't done that yet? man, you're behind
[15:15:32] AlexThompson: what are
some of the safety features in place to keep robonaut from damaging itself
[15:16:04] AlexThompson: and where
exactly did you do it john
[15:16:21] johnputrino: i have to
go now... lol
[15:16:54] AlexThompson: why is robonaut
slow and weak...isnt it just a matter of changing out the hardware
[15:16:54] LiYang: question 1: how
does Thermal Sensor work?
[15:20:08] AlexThompson: what are
some of the problems you having with telepresene in robonaut
[15:20:19] LiYang: Question 2: what
temperature degree range can Robonaut stay?

thought of any commercial uses for robonaught... selling similar robots to construction
companies and the like
[15:23:46] DanPoynter2: wrapping
up the conversation: booooo : )
[15:23:59] PernosDetunaCTJIII: >.<
I asked that through matthew!!!
[15:24:13] DanPoynter2: sooo many
questions....
[15:26:02] DrCummings3: Thank you
for sharing your expertise with us, Scott!
[15:26:46] DanPoynter2: Thank you!
: D
[15:27:42] PernosDetunaCTJIII: Thanks
a bunch Scott, I really enjoyed the lecture ^.^

[15:28:04] JennyGimian: Thank you
[15:28:04] PernosDetunaCTJIII: Thanks
a million moderator for asking my questions
[15:28:06] matthewjohnstonreconnect:
Thank you Scott
[15:28:20] AlexThompson1: He didnt
leave an email address did he...
[15:28:20] BrianWoodworth: Thanks
[15:28:21] BradGates: Thank You.
[15:28:27] JacquelineMehlberg: Thank
you! Be well everyone.

and you Moderator
[15:28:46] PernosDetunaCTJIII: ack...
I need to stretch out
[15:28:50] Ross_Bowman: thanks
[15:29:04] DanPoynter2: i wrote down
Scott's tips for young roboticists:
[15:29:14] PernosDetunaCTJIII: untill
next time everyone
[15:29:44] DanPoynter2: take time
to do it right first time, time to think through, give yourself time to tinker,
dont be afraid to fail, failing is learning, actualling doing something is better
than thinking about it
[15:29:53] DanPoynter2: there ya
guys go...
[15:30:01] DanPoynter2: im gonna
go eat some dinner! :D
[15:30:13] DrCummings3: The second
quiz is not required since it was turned in after the webcast. ;-)
[15:31:11] AlexThompson1: well looks
like im stuck with archives again... see you guys later
