Lunar Robots
Pololu Robotics and Electronics, 920 Pilot Rd, Las Vegas, NV, USHello LV Robotics community!
Well, looks like we're going to the moon again, this time with robots. NASA is sending three autonomous mobile robots to the moon where they’ll have to work as a team under challenging conditions. NASA is gearing up to not only return people to the moon, but establish a long-term presence there, the time seems ripe to see just how helpful autonomous mobile robots could be on the moon’s surface.
For our next event we will have two space speakers: Connor Grey, Senior Astrodynamics Engineer and founder. AstroSweep is pioneering next-generation space debris removal technology to ensure a sustainable future for space commerce. Our second space speaker will be Michael Laine, founder of LiftPort, speaking about why we should build an elevator to space NOT from the earth first -- but rather from the moon first.
Space economy -- it sounds crazy. But it's inevitable as fast as we are significantly reducing the cost of moving people and equipment to orbit.

Separately, we will have special guest speaker Tommy Laplante. Tommy supplies robots to Station Casinos, Caesars, MGM, Wynn and others. Tommy knows the ins and outs of the Las Vegas strip and what hoteliers are looking for-- and how many robots are currently deployed in field. Tommy is the former CIO of Top Golf, Director of IT for Harrah's Entertainment and Caesars Casino. He helped launch cleaning robots on the strip and now operates Star Support, a robot distribution and service company. I just visited Tommy's offices where he was help HYTRON show their bathroom cleaning robots to a group of casino executives who showed strong interest in the robot.
Whether you have plans for space or terrestrial deployments you do not want to miss this event. Both Tommy and Michael have a lot of stories to tell and key insights to share.
We are holding the next event at Pololu (thank you Jan!) so get your popcorn ready, this is going to be interesting.
Look forward to seeing everyone.
Robot regards,
