- Description
Meet Olympus, a four-legged robot developed and built by Jørgen Anker Olsen, visiting PhD researcher from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Mounted upside down to a floating platform at the European Space Agency’s ORBIT facility, Olympus gets to experience simulated microgravity in two dimensions, allowing Jørgen to better understand how the robot would move under conditions it was created for: the gravity on Mars, which is about 2.5 times weaker than Earth’s gravity.
