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 ...

During the demonstration, NASA engineers used vision-language models, or VLMs, to create waypoints on Mars for Perseverance.

Apollo, a human sized robot built by Texas based startup Apptronik, is quietly moving from pilot shifts on factory floors toward a role in deep space exploration. The same design that lets it lift ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has completed the first AI-planned drives on another world, marking a ...

Navigating in a microgravity environment is a challenge even for trained human astronauts, but it is even more challenging for autonomous robots, limiting their use in places like a space station. Now ...

NASA lunar mission technologies are enabling housing construction methods and robotic systems on Earth through technology transfer, 3D printing processes, and autonomous robotics.

AI makes ISS robot navigation 50–60% faster, marking the first in-orbit demonstration of machine-learning-based motion control. The system handles the station’s cluttered, narrow interior, where ...

How can an AI robot help improve human space exploration? This is what a recent study presented at the 2025 International Conference on Space Robotics hopes to address as a team of researchers ...

Conditions on the Moon will be harsher, but prototype NASA robotic vehicles braved sand storms and unprecedented temperature swings this month on sand dunes near Moses Lake, Washington, to prepare for ...

Imagine a robot about the size of a toaster floating through the tight corridors of the International Space Station, quietly moving supplies or checking for leaks – all without an astronaut at the ...
