Bobby Scott (D-Va.),    NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate Acting Deputy    Associate Administrator Robert Pearce and NASA's Space    Technology Mission Directorate Associate Administrator Michael    Gazarik.News media are invited to the ceremony to    see the ISAAC robot in action, Monday, Jan. 26, starting at 10    a.m. Interested media should contact Kathy Barnstorff at (757)    864-9886 or <a href=\"mailto:kathy.barnstorff@nasa.gov\">kathy.barnstorff@nasa.gov<\/a><mailto:kathy.barnstorff@nasa.gov>,    no later than 9 a.m., Jan. 26, and arrive at the NASA Langley    gate by 9:40 a.m.NASA Langley is one of three places in the    world now equipped with this sophisticated precision    technology. The other two systems are used for bulk    manufacturing of lightweight composite materials for industry,    not for research.ISAAC looks like something out of a    Transformers movie  a huge arm that moves and spins to pick up    massive heads filled with spools of carbon fibers, then works    in preprogrammed patterns to deposit those fibers onto complex    forms or molds up to 40 feet long. But instead of transforming    from machine to autobot  it can transform 3-D computer    drawings and epoxy and fibers into pieces that can fly in the    air or be launched into space.Researchers say the robotic system will play    a key role in the development of significantly improved    aerospace components. Planes, rockets and other vehicles can    use less fuel and carry more if they are made of strong,    lighter weight materials.For information about NASA Langley,    visit:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/langley\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/langley<\/a><\/p>\n<p>    Please follow SpaceRef on Twitter and Like us on    Facebook.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Link: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/spaceref.com\/news\/viewpr.html?pid=44866\/RK=0\/RS=k_h4tmg5uUZcERvDK1uX5v8pvDk-\" title=\"NASA Langley&#39;s New Giant Robot Will Create Space-Age Materials\">NASA Langley&#39;s New Giant Robot Will Create Space-Age Materials<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> NASA's Langley Researcher Center will unveil its new seven-ton, two-story tall composite materials robot to the media and research community Monday, Jan. 26.A number of dignitaries and industry officials are expected to attend the ISAAC (Integrated Structural Assembly of Advanced Composites) commissioning including Rep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/nasa\/nasa-langleys-new-giant-robot-will-create-space-age-materials.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-176418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nasa"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176418"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176418\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
