Lunar Zebro Podcast

What do all those Mars or Lunar Rovers, which are launch today, have in common? They all have a very big size, a high cost, and are immensely complexity, aren't they?What if the Space Rovers of the future will be very simple, and "kind of stupid? Join us, as we explore the concept of decentralized intelligence, and Internet of Robots.A special thanks to Chris Verhoeven, Lunar Zebro's project director and passionate Engineer, as well as to Hans Hellendoorn, professor in Control Theory at the TU Delft, and to Kevin McElligot, former Zebro member.----------------------------------Credits for sounds used:Intro music: "Save Us Now" by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

What do a zoo, a classroom full of kids and a small schoolgirl have in common with our Zebro? Listen along as we start this podcast series with the birth of our Zebro!We hope to approach the story of our peculiar Moon rover from unique angles throughout this podcast series. Stayed tuned for next episodes! A special thanks to Chris Verhoeven, Lunar Zebro's project director and passionate Engineer, as well as to Jillian Oduber, Chief Engineer in 2020-21, for the long talks we had with them!----------------------------------Credits for sounds used:Intro music: "Save Us Now" by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comBirds sound: "Exotic Birds sound" by bolkmar - https://freesound.org/s/423804/Rain sound: "The rain falls against the parasol" by straget - https://freesound.org/s/531947/Door sound: "Door, Wooden, Close, A (H1).wav" by InspectorJ - https://freesound.org/s/411791/School Bell sound: "schoolbell_klaverblad.mp3" by thecityrings - https://freesound.org/s/173415/Classroom sound: "Childrens' classroom" by abcopen - https://freesound.org/s/166207/

This is the trailer for our monthly podcast, made by the students from the Lunar Zebro team, for all space enthusiasts, robotics nerds, engineering fans, and curious minds!This podcast will tell the story of our curious tiny six-legged rovers, called Zebros, which will roam on the Moon soon. We will guide you through the fascinating story of their conception, all the way to their launch to the Moon in a few years!We will approach this story from unusual angles. For instance: what can the conception of the Lunar Zebro teach us about how engineers should work? Is "Internet of Robots" the next big thing? What can we learn from Nature? And: is space really a place for human beings?You will always find something interesting in our episodes. Subscribe and stay tuned for releases in the middle of every month!
