Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute has a slideshow of robots made by its Field Robotics Center. Robots!
Pictured is a winterized version of its Nomad rover, designed to search for and classify meteorites in Antarctica.

Does ‘winterized’ mean ‘covered in snow’?
That looks like something off the Concept Ships sci-fi art blog. Very cool.
I think ‘winterized’ means ‘prepared for severe cold weather.’ I took it to mean that the standard Nomad couldn’t handle the arctic temperature and precipitation, but the winterized version can.
