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 arrive.
NASA has awarded a total of $535,000 to seven teams that competed in the agency’s Space Robotics Challenge. The teams developed code to help advance state-of-the-art autonomous robotics for future space exploration missions.
