Digging on the Moon is a hard job for a robot. It has to be able to collect and move lunar soil, or regolith, but anything launching to the Moon needs to be lightweight. The problem is excavators rely ...

Autonomous free-flying robots aboard the International Space Station (ISS) frequently lose their bearings. Without gravity to distinguish up from down, even precision sensors suffer from accumulating ...

NASA continues to test various robotic models in a simulated lunar surface as it works toward the goal of having humans back on the moon. The RASSOR (Regolith Advanced Surface Systems Operations Robot ...

A Florida undergraduate student has traveled to NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. for the NASA Robotics Academy. In its second year, the annual NASA Robotics Academy introduces its 29 ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...
