Robots on Mars: Special Issue of "IEEE Robotics & Automation"

The June issue of the "IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine" (v. 13, no. 2) features nine articles on the recent Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission and its vehicles, "Spirit" and "Opportunity," which successfully landed on the red planet in early 2004. "I truly believe that this June issue is a blast!" writes Stefano Stramigioli, editor of the magazine. The issue, guest edited by Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu of the NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory, contains articles such as "Mars Exploration Rover Mobility Development" and "Working the Martian Night Shift." The table of contents and abstracts for all papers are available through the IEEE Xplore digital library, where subscribers may access the full text of the issue:
