Nasa's Valkyrie robot was built by the Johnson Space Center to compete in a 2013 robotics challenge trial. Weighing 300lb and standing at 6ft2in, it looks not unlike a Star Wars Stormtrooper, but it ...
But what does that mean for future generations of budding astronauts – and surely there are certain functions that humans can do in space but which robots, however advanced, never could?

showcasing the potential for multirobot collaboration in future missions[4]. Finally, robust control methods have been explored to enhance the performance of space robots. An optimized adaptive ...
But the success of these autonomous spacecraft – coupled with the rise of new advanced artificial intelligence – raises the question of what role humans might play in future space exploration. Some ...
Towards this, astronauts aboard China's Tiangong space station have been conducting experiments to assess human-robot interactions in the microgravity environment. The Shenzhou 19 crew — comprising ...
It is envisaged that space robots will conduct our exploration in deep space in the not-too-distant future. As satellite launches increase, robotics is necessary for on-orbit maintenance and assembly.
RSL has also developed SpaceBok, a lightweight quadrupedal robot designed to research dynamic legged locomotion for space exploration ... Looking ahead, the future of work isn't about choosing ...
