NASA - Robonaut 2: First Humanoid Robot in Space
NASA uses robots in many ways to help with space exploration. When it’s possible for robots to perform tasks, rather than people, there are some obvious advantages. Robots do not have to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep. They can perform tasks over and over in exactly the same way without gett...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/nasa--robonaut-2-first-humanoid-robot-in-space
Catching the Rays
Students will fit a sinusoidal function to a set of data. The data are the number of hours of daylight starting January 1st and collected on the first and sixteenth days of the months in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/catching-the-rays
Modeling Daylight Hours
Students are provided with data on the daylight hours for two Canadian cities measured three times per month in 2007.
