I've just read a comment on Slashdot.org that made me recall about a NASA project of a autonomous free-flying camera. I know about this device since long time, perhaps since it was tested during Columbia's STS-87 mission. Its goal is basically to help the crew during extra-vehicular activities (EVA), and to perform inspections of the shuttle or ISS from the outside. A pretty useful gadget, I may say. Nowadays, it seems to exist an improved version of the AERCam/Sprint prototype called simply AERCam.
What other gadgets has NASA in their labs?
