ALT Photo of a "red cage fungus," which looks much like its name, on a backdrop of leaf litter.
ALT A set of Matryoshka dolls from Hungary. There are six dolls; they have cream-colored bodies with red flowers painted on them, deep red head-scarves, and carrot-colored hair. The largest doll wears an open-mouthed smile; the next two down are pursing their lips and blushing.
ALT An arthropod sort of leg (3d-printed plastic joined with thin wire) attached to a flat body piece and resting in a neutral position on a coffee table. There's only one leg, so the body is supported on a tissue box and weighted down with a drinking cup that has a picture of the Endurance moon lander on it. The leg angles up to a "knee" joint and then back down to a flat round foot.
ALT A selection of white plastic parts forming segments of a long tubular leg and some kind of joint are laid out on a table.
ALT A tricolor tabby cat lies on a desk hugging a computer mouse against her chest.
ALT A 3d printer in the act of printing a large flat white object with very low infill percentage.
ALT The finished object, a flat panel with some raised elements and holes.
ALT Photograph of two people in white lab coats standing between three rovers of different sizes, in a testing area designed to resemble Mars (red soil with embedded rocks).
ALT A 3D model of a robot platform. There's a pump in the middle, two fluid tanks, and a little "house" to hold battery packs. Stubs of eight legs surround the edges, sticking up from the platform.
ALT A question mark formed by a "word cloud" of phrases and symbols. Some of the most prominent words are "I am," "here," "being," and "now." Prominent symbols include the Earth, a spiral, and various depictions of weather.
ALT A 3D model of a little spinning "joint" attached to the base of a "leg," only one section of which is visible. There's a valve stem sticking out of part of the joint.
