Stanford researchers have become the first to demonstrate that machine-learning control can safely guide a robot aboard the ...

NASA and industry partners will fly and operate a commercial robotic arm in low Earth orbit through the Fly Foundational ...

Humanoid robots could be used in space in the not-to-distant future as we explore the moon and Mars, at least according to industry leaders working on the technology. In a South by Southwest session ...

What’s the difference between deep space and the deep sea? For a robot, the answer is: not much. Both environments are harsh and demanding, and, more importantly, both are far removed from the machine ...

Recent advancements in AI are transforming how robots operate aboard the International Space Station (ISS). A new study ...

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 ...

For more than 20 years, the Landsat 7 satellite circled Earth every 99 minutes or so, capturing images of almost all the planet’s surface each 16 days. One of many craft that observed the changing ...

Bad news if you want to move to the moon or Mars: housing is a little hard to come by. Fortunately, NASA (as always) is thinking ahead, and has just shown off a self-assembling robotic structure that ...

The gripper switches between three modes, which are suited to tasks that require maintaining a secure hold on an object or applying high pressure, precise finger positioning or in-hand manipulation, ...

Engineers have worked out how to give robots complex instructions without electricity, which could free up more space in the robotic 'brain' for them to 'think'. Mimicking how some parts of the human ...
