I loved the way it was able to retract. I was concerned that, if the cable was caught between rocks, it would not be able to reel itself back in. The ability to pull the arm up and away with the wheels bracing and turning was beautiful. Nice job team.
seeing it detach itself in order to explore tough terrain is really cool. You guys are doing great work and I hope to see this thing actually go to mars!
@@TheThinggummybob I suppose so but it's sort of an inherent problem of having a tether. If they had a solution I would have expected them to show it. So I doubt they have one.
@@marylynne9104 Of course it's a prototype but that just seems like an inherent risk of using a long tether on rough terrain. I doubt you can engineer that away.
A few concerns with the tether design which will need addressing if they have not been already: The tether (depending on its material) will be at risk of wearing as it rubs along rocks and the Martian surface. It will need to be incredibly durable. Second, it will also become increasingly dirty and it will be at risk of pulling sand and other small particulates into the tether retraction system. Other than that, cool concept!
This kind of rover is very much needed I think maybe guys you should do done cooperation with the boston dynamics on walking robots improvement especially for more exploration and terrain.
In reverse, the stingy thing basically acts like an anchor. It can only be lifted when climbing steep terrain by turning the wheels forward and gravity tipping the whole thing backwards. But I can't come up with a better idea. The modular design tackles the challenge of exploring steep terrain in an impressive way. Engineering of the tether might be a challenge.
Yeah, google Moondiver if you're interested. It's a single one of those detachable sub-rovers targeted for the moon, deployed off of the Europa lander. The prototype for Moondiver is actually being used as one of the sub-rovers in the DuAxel version you're seeing in the video.
The currrent rovers have so many moving parts it's ridiculous. There's no getting away from that, since you want to cram as much useful stuff in there as possible.
@@logitech4873 You’re right about that. I was referring to the actually hook mechanism with the cable (or line or whatever) attached to it. It just seems failure prone to me. Who knows though. Just the fact that anything mechanical/electronic could survive in that extreme Martian atmosphere while being controlled from such a great distance blows my mind.
I was impressed by the design of the wheels. They are great for traversing very rough terrain!
Just Incredible Lads!
Always Impressive
( And in Case of any Confusion, I am Serious - This Rover is Incredible! )
Are you serious
Yeah

The two wheeler reminds me of those toys we used to make out of a wooden cotton reel, elastic band, pencil and a slice of a candle.
Exactly 😂...
Se tive se como traduzir pra português seria legal
Great concept. But I'd be worried about the tether getting tangled up or stuck somewhere.
That might make the whole rover useless.
pretty sure they are worried about it ;)

It’s a prototype, so maybe that’s one of the problems they’ll look for an answer to before making the one that will actually travel to Mars.

@@Pyriphlegeton - human ingenuity got them to Mars. I have faith they will solve most problems before deployment.
It should take a ramp to mars, for gnarly jump tricks.
LOL, with the lower gravity, that should be awesome!
GUEM VAI BUSCA OS LIXO DEIXADO LAR FALA PARA NOS
And when the front axel is off exploring, the main body of the rover won't do anything. It'll be... two tired
LOL
That's a good one.
Bruh
That joke was terrible...
wish I thought of it.
Nice
Just being proud of human's brain evolution. Yes God, this is what we human can give back to You.
The rover looks light wheight and faster than any other rover put on Mars, looks promising
*Now this is true rover*
Finally a cool rover that is incredible
you serious,
Congratulations ,so impressed

WOW....I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS....
Awesome engineering

This rover is amazing.......👍👍👍
Epic Job as usual JPL.
That's made my day, and whoever are part 9f the team are living some of the finest dreams of people on earth
Ray Harryhausen would be pleased. but seriously, this is amazing!
Decades of engineering development have allowed us to realise that the secret is in the old way of speleological exploration: the rope! 😂
Impressed of the extended distance of functionality and the resembling! Not at all of the wheels design.
For some reason this reminds me of one of my favourite toys as a kid: Zoids.
Nice idea
This is wildly cool.
Wow !!! Very good wheels!! Well done!!
Who i's filmed?
Additionally the bumpy driving of the river can act as a centrifuge
😂
I am the only person to notice indisputable past life on Mars viewing rover scans of the planet.
Impressive 👍❤️
Great video, but the music is impossible to listen. I muted it.
Neat! My Kerbal Space Program rovers are never this cool!
Realmente es sorprendente todo lo concerniente a esta exploración. Gracias por permitir ser parte de este proyecto. Felicitaciones
Incredible
Very Nice...good job..
Wow Rover did a great job
What if the martians cut the tether with their space-scissors?
Asking the real questions.
Looks well developed, such a loss it didn't get a seat with preserverance
It will probably go further
VERY EMPRESSIVE

Good. Accepted. Thanks to NASA. Show any kind of life in Mars.
Unglaublich tolle Arbeit 👍👍👍👍
That tether is going to be stuck behind the rocks so bad..
Is it for the moon?
That's an awesome little robot, wow!
Who filmed this?
Very good robot in Mars. 👍
In portuguese: Muito bom o robô em Marte. 👍
Who is make video of this machine?
Please explain is it what they are going to plan on mars( to sending this device?
Trop fort, ça promet 🤗
DuAxel is Amazing
Like an Transformer(:
Wow! Very nice concept. With little extra weight a whole new capability, like a Transformer
Bravo nasa bilim adina sana cok şey borcluyuz
This is really really cool. Would something like this also work to get samples of water from the moon?
Great idea. It will be amazing to see one of this in the lunar surface and have tested there before sending another one to Mars.

@@jacoblizewski3837 Thanks for that info! Super interesting. The Europa Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration is super cool!
Good looking rover just feel the tether will snag on the rocks. A shame the 2nd half doesn't do anything while un tether . Would tank tracks not work?
Fantastic !!
Wow amazing work 🌎✌️👍👽
Это круче чем научная фантастика..
ЭТО КАКАЯ ПЛАНЕТА?ТАМ, ЧТО ТРАВА РАСТЕТ?НА МАРСЕ?
I, for one, welcome our belaying, rappelling, Mars-exploring lil robo-homies.

Are you a Martian?
Das ist fantastich !
Hmmm. I’m not so confident in the anchor mechanism. Too many moving parts imo. I’m no NASA engineer however. This rover is neat nonetheless.

Sensationnel Rover 👌
Nice
excellent
It's an amazing invention, but when it will be launched for mars
There's currently no planned missions using this design, but it may be selected for a future mission someday
Choose the slope well. I imagine a lot of problems with the cable under tension.
Идея имеет право на жизнь парни отлично поработали молодцы !!!
Ok
Cest très bon
C'est excelent
Who recorded ⏺️ this
So what happens if the rope gets caught somewhere?
Now that's a strange looking hoverboard...
Genius
Maravilloso robot
This would be perfect to explore 'Valles Marineris'
Good morning everyone 😎😎😎🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Vidim na Marsu ima oblaka, da li ima i žaba?
This looks awesome
Amazing! I was worried that cable wasn't a good idea! I liked the design of those wheels...

Amazing, wonderful..live for human life!!!
What an absolutely ridiculous concept, what could possibly go wrong?
Very great👌👌👌
Is it real prototype Rover on Mars?
Very creative and cute.
How will the rover be powered, RTG?
Hats off to these great brains😘😘
Who is fixing camera covering robot from deterrent directions?
Can grass growth in mars it's possible or not?
Son, increíbles
Vary nice 👍
Awesome !
jajajajaja XD When the cable snagged on a rock, the exploration was over. I hope they have everything in mind.
Increíble, felicidades a la NASA y a los inventores 🇩🇴
Bonjour Madame de Monsieur, je parle par rapport le capsule, c'est parti sur le ciel est le quartier
um tether, will it get stuck between rocks like fishing line sometimes does? but its coollll man
Super
Now that was excellent!
Muy interesante gracias por compartir.
MARS JANITOR: Couldn't humans do that, too?
MARS ENGINEERS: Check out the janitor who thinks he's an engineer now.
Por fin podemos miarar algo, excelent, thank you...
