Nathan watches over Boudreaux (the ERA robot), ready to flip the emergency switch if it gets into trouble. Notice the tracks to which Boudreaux headed and then scooted around. |

Back in the Hab, Kim talks to Nathan, as she monitors the signal and the robot's path. |

Jeff indicates where Boudreaux is headed, using the live video projected to the Hab from the robot. |

Ricks uses software on a PDA to monitor the MEX signal between the base antenna at the Hab and the ATV, which serves as a relay to Boudreaux. |

Kim, Jeff, Ron, and MIke (holding a hat) confer about Boudreaux's traverse under Mobile Agents control, while Brent, Abby, and Maarten review the panoramas coming in from the robot. |

This is that -- Brent and Abby relate their maps and diagrams to the panoramas. |

Maarten refers to the projected panorama, while Abby and Brent try to relate features to their large aerial photo. |

Meanwhile, John works quietly on the side, improving the voice commanding system, as the dinner he prepared simmers in the slow cooker. |
