Chicago Eurohab Visits Chicago by Bill Mania In May of 2002 members of the Chicago Chapter assisted with the construction of the EuroHab in front of Adler Planetarium in Chicago. Over the course of the summer, the EuroHab was open to the public and the Chicago Chapter provided staff for the EuroHab. In early September of 2002 the Chicago Chapter will assist with the disassembly of the EuroHab. Members of the Chicago Chapter are beginning a program of robotics research and development. The objective of the project is to use off the shelf, household robotics components and member expertise to learn more about Mars applicable robotics systems. Since there are no robotics "experts" in the Chapter, the project is being used as a means to learn more about robotics in a hands-on setting. The Chapter will be developing its own software for the robot projects and will be looking for emergent behaviours.
