O
ur computers take us into amazing worlds where anything is
possible, but reality can also
deliver the amazing. How about using
computers to take us into the real
world, to control robots that will take
images for us of the far distant reaches
of the Universe? One such robot is the
Bradford Robotic Telescope, situated
25
high on the northern side of Mount
Teide on the Spanish island of Tenerife
at the Instituto Astrofisica Canarias
Northern Hemisphere Observatory.
This is one of the few autonomous
robots available on the web:

free offer code for you to use it with
