00:00 The LASI team is up here on Mount Hood with the robot dog, and we're using that dog to actually
00:07 measure properties of the surface. With every step that the dog robot takes, it's able to sense
00:15 mechanical resistance with its leg, kind of similar to the way that when we walk on uneven
00:22 surfaces as humans, we can sort of detect how the ground is shifting beneath our feet. And what's
00:28 very cool is that scientists are interested in that data because it tells us things about how
00:34 that planetary surface formed and how it moves and how it might move in the future.
00:40 Moving forward to missions that are going to occur on our moon, we're going to have humans
00:47 and robots really for the first time on planetary missions working side by side.
