Short Course: Measurements and Models at the Surface of Mars
Monday, June 20, 2011
9:00 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. Short Course
Salvatori Seminar Room, South Mudd Building - California Institute of Technology
Speakers:
- Ray Arvidson - Washington University
- Robert C.Anderson - JPL
- Jose Andrade - Caltech
- Karl Iagnemma - MIT
Abstract:
This short course will review the methods for measuring and modeling surface interactions on non-terrestrial environments. The focus will be on soil mechanics and terramechanics techniques for assessing robot mobility over unknown terrains. Engineers, scientists and students are encouraged to attend.
