What is a Robot? A mechanical device that:
Operates at a distance (remotely).Operates automatically (autonomous) or by
remote control (tele-operated). NASA definition: a machine that is built to do a
certain job again and again, or to do work that might be dangerous for humans

International Space Station In-orbit construction began 1998 Continuously crewed since
November 2000 Space Shuttle missions delivered
equipment and parts Orbits the Earth at 230 miles up,
(~Fargo to Minneapolis) One orbit every 90 minutes Karen Nyberg: graduate of UND

Activity You and your crew are astronauts aboard the International
Space Station Your recent shipment of cargo was hit by micrometeoroids
(tiny space rocks) and now your food and supplies are floating everywhere!
In order to get your cargo, your team must build a robotic arm with only the materials you have onboard before your cargo drifts away!

How Teams Work at NASA
1. Ask – What is our problem that needs to be solved?2. Imagine – Brainstorm all possible answers!3. Plan – Decide which ideas to try!4. Create – Build your robot arm, and remember to work as a
team!5. Experiment – Try out your design!6. Improve – Change your design to make it better!
