Inspired by the book The Naked Sun from Isaac Asimov,D2-R2 from star wars, designer Martin Miklica has come up with a unique robot named Le Petit Prince to invade mars. This robot will help in “future exploration and expansion” of population on Mars.
For this quintessential companion on Mars, the designer says:
“That’s quite good for one week’s vacation in the countryside, but for modern people it’s very depressing to live in such a place for several months or years. Therefore, the main benefit of Le Petit Prince is that it’s not just a machine, but more like a pet or silent friend that you can speak to when you aren’t in the mood to talk to people. On top of that, it is a good gardener that grows any plant you want or need to bare life or just for its beauty.”
Using commonly used space materials, this visionary robot is designed to be a friend on solitary mars capable of learning the process of “search of nutrients” for survival.
