Now, however, Stanford researchers have used artificial intelligence to steer a free-flying robot aboard the International ...

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 ...

Stanford researchers have become the first to demonstrate that machine-learning control can safely guide a robot aboard the ISS, laying the groundwork for more autonomous space missions.

Someday, American astronauts may land on the moon again: that’s the intent behind NASA’s Artemis campaign to live and work on Earth’s satellite in preparation for human missions to Mars. If that day ...

The struggle to be first in humanoid robots is the space race of our time, says Apptronik CEO Jeff Cardenas, who also says that major upgrades are coming to Apptronik’s appropriately-named Apollo ...

BBC Tech Now visited the National Space Industry Hub in Sydney, Australia, to look at how robots were being developed to support astronauts in space. Reporter Nick Kwek travelled to the hub to meet ...

AI robot on the ISS navigates 50–60% faster using machine learning, marking a major step toward autonomous space missions.

The slingshot, called TARS, could in theory accelerate a small spacecraft up to 620 miles per second. Reaching interstellar space could be far simpler than we thought, thanks to a new idea called TARS ...

Space mining tech and robotic prospecting are unlocking extraterrestrial resources, reshaping future energy, manufacturing, ...

A dozen or so young men and women, eyes obscured by VR headsets, shuffle around a faux kitchen inside a tech company’s Silicon Valley headquarters. Their arms are bent at the elbows, palms facing down ...

Silicon Valley startup Foundation isn't shy about employing its humanoid robots in the defense industry. And yes, the CEO is ...

When NASA’s free-flying helpers on the International Space Station drifted into trouble, the solution did not come from a new thruster or a last-minute software patch. It came from a virtual copy of ...
