Toddler Robots

Robots still need large quantities of guidance and help if they are to remain safe and out of trouble. Spirit and Opportunity have entire crews to help guide them to where they want them to go. If robots are to ever actually be of assistance to people on Mars or the Moon, then they are going to have to be much more autonomous, being able to find their way around using sonar and infrared will be very important.
