As winner of the award, Grace has received $10,000 from Optus to go towards hardware to build a full prototype of the humanoid robot, Abi. Congratulations Grace and all finalists of the competition — what an incredible achievement! (2/2)

We are THRILLED to share that Grace Brown, who is our Humanoid Project Lead, has won the Vogue Code Future Innovators Competition! (1/2) vogue.com.au/vogue-codes/ne…

The mount will be situated inside a Helmholtz cage, which replicates the Earth's magnetic field in orbit, and is being constructed with the support of a grant from the Blackbird Foundation. Once completed, the system will be able to verify the de-tumbling capabilities of ACRUX-2!

ACRUX-2 update! 🛰📡🎉 Not letting lockdown get in the way of progress, we have been making the most of home 3D printers, computer aided modelling and online delivery! Within the ADCS team, Philip and Jonathan have designed and manufactured a testing mount for our #CubeSat. (1/2)

Australia, we’re going to the Moon. 🌙 We’ve reached an agreement with @NASA for an Australian-made rover to be part of a future mission, harnessing our skills and expertise in the resources sector.

The software framework we are using for Abi, is coincidentally called ROS (Robot Operating System). Ross also happens to be our project's expert on ROS 🧐 Learn more next time on Humans for Humanoid! 👋 #STEM #mechatronics #space #spacetech #spacetechnology (2/2)

Humans of Humanoid 👨👩🤖 4.0 This is Ross, He is finishing his Mechatronics undergrad this year and is leading the autonomous subsystem in the Humanoid Project. Ross' coding prowess, dedication to the project, and foosball skills make him an invaluable member of our team. (1/2)

We'd like to thank the Blackbird Foundation for their support, and we're super excited to be a part of their program to unleash creativity in young people! #innovation #spaceindustry #spacetech #spacetechnology #nanosatellite #cubesat #detumbling #engineering #STEM (3/)

For the next three months, our subsystem mission is to design, build, and test the detumbling system, which stops the satellite from spinning when launched from the rocket. Take a look at our video to hear more about our goals and how we are going to get there! (2/)

Exciting news from the ACRUX-2 team! 🎉🛰 Our Attitude and Determination System team is very grateful to be a Protostar Grant recipient within the Blackbird Foundation! (1/)
