A popular Shropshire historian and author has been described as "the best husband, dad and granddad" after his death aged 77.
The Walking Oligomeric Robotic Mobility System, or WORMS, is a reconfigurable, modular, multiagent robotics architecture for extreme lunar terrain mobility developed by MIT’s Space Resources Workshop for NASA’s 2022 BIG Idea Challenge. The system could be used to assemble autonomous worm-like parts into larger biomimetic robots that could explore lava tubes, steep slopes, and the moon’s permanently shadowed regions.
