You can't joystick a robot on Mars in real time. Radio signals from Earth take up to 22 minutes to arrive. This simple fact has stalled space construction for decades. The dream of building in space ...

NASA is quietly rewriting the script for human exploration of the Red Planet, turning robots from remote-controlled tools into autonomous partners tasked with keeping crews alive far from home.

A team led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg has developed an inchworm-inspired ...

Can autonomous robots help cut space exploration times? This is what a recent study published in Frontiers in Space Technologies hopes to address as a team of scientists from Switzerland and the ...

The results showed that robots equipped with compact instruments can greatly improve efficiency. This method speeds up both ...

New footage shows NASA's Curiosity rover tilting, rotating and vibrating its robotic arm as mission scientists tried to ...

USC engineering students were part of the team that developed and trained the robot. (Teo Gonzales / Daily Trojan file photo) In April 2009, a NASA rover was exploring the surface of Mars when it rode ...

Planetary surface missions currently operate cautiously. On Mars, communication delays between Earth and rovers (typically between four and 22 minutes), as well as data transfer constraints due to ...
