Using AI training, researchers designed a "robot dog" that moves like a cat, and has no trouble navigating low-gravity ...

The short-lived robots used the low-gravity conditions on Ryugu to hop across the asteroid’s surface for a day to beam back pictures to Earth. What if we nuked an asteroid? Since the mission’s ...

Bosch imagines how all kinds of resources that are scarce on Earth are simply collected in the rest of our solar system and ...

It is clear that as demand for minerals surges due to green energy transition, asteroids could offer a virtually limitless ...

In 2018, Japan made history by landing two cookie jar-sized jumping rovers onto the rocky asteroid Ryugu about 280 million km (170 million miles) away from Earth. The short-lived robots used the ...

Chinese scientists have built a cat-inspired robot designed to adjust its posture and stick its landing even in low-gravity environments, an advance that could revolutionise the exploration of ...

Scientists checked whether the robot and its newly developed control system could potentially manoeuvre in low-gravity celestial environments like asteroids. Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft snapped ...
