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. Imagine a ...

A team of Stanford researchers have test-flown an autonomous robot inside the International Space Station (ISS), demonstrating a technique for guiding robots in space when computational resources are ...

Stanford researchers are bringing a sci-fi vision to life aboard the International Space Station (ISS). They have become the first to demonstrate that AI-based control can guide a robot autonomously ...

Navigating in a microgravity environment is a challenge even for trained human astronauts, but it is even more challenging for autonomous robots, limiting their use in places like a space station. Now ...

Imagine a robot about the size of a toaster floating through the tight corridors of the International Space Station, quietly moving supplies or checking for leaks – all without an astronaut at the ...

A recent study has been exploring the potential of social robots to support the mental health of astronauts in space. Researchers highlight how isolation and limited social interaction during space ...

A four-legged robot tested under simulated Martian gravity jumps from wall to wall in a new video, demonstrating how future explorers could navigate terrain too challenging for today's rovers.
