Space station astronauts will install Seattle startup's arms on one of NASA's cube-shaped robots for a milestone in-orbit demonstration.

Drifting silently in the cramped quarters of a spacecraft millions of miles from Earth, an astronaut clutches their side, wincing at a sudden, unfamiliar pain. There’s no doctor onboard, no emergency ...

Space changes the rules for almost everything, including how a robot should move. On Earth, legs help us stand, balance and walk across a room. In microgravity, those same legs lose much of their ...

To keep a repair robot stable while fixing satellites in space, University of Cincinnati engineers took a page from experts in balance: bull riders. UC College of Engineering and Applied Science ...

Researchers trained a deep reinforcement learning agent to plan collision-free paths for a fuel-saving free-floating space ...

The Robotic Servicing of Geosynchronous Satellites (RSGS) payload integrated with the Northrop Grumman Mission Robotics Vehicle (MRV) spacecraft bus moves into the cryogenic thermal vacuum chamber for ...

The United Kingdom has committed more than $81 million to a robotic spacecraft designed to capture dead satellites and remove ...

When a multimillion-dollar extraterrestrial vehicle gets stuck in soft sand or gravel — as did the Mars rover Spirit in 2009 — Earth-based engineers take over like a virtual tow truck, issuing a ...

Three former SpaceX engineers have switched their attention from making rocket engines to manufacturing steel parts by using AI-driven software and robots. Their immediate goal involves establishing a ...

One of Tech's newest robotics student organizations is climbing leaderboards in competition and expanding access to lab space on campus.

Insects have long been a source of inspiration for robotics engineers. They are small, agile, and can squeeze into spaces ...
