b. Find ONE example of a robot that can undertake EACH of these tasks, including a name, a description of the robot and what it can do, an image and references.
Spirit, MER-A (Mars Exploration Rover - A)This a image of one of the mars rovers it can preform all the tasks said in the question.
It is sent to space by a rocket after leaving earths atmosphere it deploys its secondary boosters and after that is over it get drifts until it reaches its destination when it arives above mars it shoots a large container device that holds the rover it is made out of a dense material which is heat resistance and thus this will leave the rover intact when crashing on mars after the rover is deployed it can preform many things one of the most used it sample taking and photo taking, after the photos are taken they send it back to earth this make take long periods of time due to the distance between earth and mars
The spirt rover is a six-wheeled solar powered standing at 1.5 m tall and weighing in at 180 kg, the six wheeled design makes the rover able to go over many rocky terrians, the rovers max speed is 50 mm a second which is 0.18km/h .
Both spirit and opportunity have pieces of the fallen world trade centre metal shielding the cables on the driling mechanisms
Spirit's onboard computer uses a 20 MHz RAD6000 CPU with 128 MB of DRAM, 3 MB of EEPROM, and 256 MB of flash memory
The rover can run up to 4 hours per martain day
