NASA has unveiled how its moon mining robot or In-Situ Resource Utilization Pilot Excavator (IPEx) will work on the lunar surface. This robotic system will support lunar digging, making it possible ...

Humans have sent many robotic vehicles to study Mars, nearly 34 million miles away from Earth. Six-wheeled rovers have a twin set of cameras that act like eyes and a mast that looks like a neck. The ...

NASA’s Astrobee, a compact, cube-shaped robot, is revolutionizing operations aboard the International Space Station (ISS) by autonomously managing critical tasks. This advancement is part of a recent ...

NASA is quietly laying the groundwork for a future in which orbiting platforms can build, repair, and even run themselves with minimal human presence. Its latest robotics initiative is designed not ...

NASA has teamed up with a small robotics firm in Texas to continue the space agency's decades of work developing humanoid robots. Soon, such robots may be sent to orbit, or even other planets, to help ...

Out in the depths of space, in our solar system and beyond, there exist a vast variety of worlds. There are gas giant planets bigger than Jupiter, and extremely hot planets that orbit so close to ...

It almost feels like outer space is designed to kill you, from massive amounts of radiation to extreme temperatures. To offload mundane and dangerous tasks from astronauts, NASA has invested in Austin ...

Led by NASA JPL, Team CoSTAR will participate in the SubT final this week to demonstrate multi-robot autonomy in a series of tests in extreme environments. Eight teams featuring dozens of robots from ...

Astronauts could take advantage of local resources while living and working on the Moon and Mars. Robot helpers could help find and extract the resources – water, oxygen, and more – before humans even ...

Virginia Tech engineering students will compete in NASA’s Lunabotics Mining Competition to develop robotic technology that could be used to excavate the moon someday. The Tech Lunabotics team has been ...
