NASA JPL’s Mars Global Localisation lets Perseverance pinpoint its position to 25cm in minutes, boosting autonomy.

The discovery is based on previous Curiosity findings revealed since 2018 about basic organics found on Mars though the quantity of such findings is comparatively huge this time.

Mars Global Localization (MGL), a tech similar to GPS on Earth, lets Perseverance nail down its coordinates to about 10 inches.

For five years the Mars Rover has been exploring without the aid of maps, GPS or even a brief idea of where it’s going without the help of people on Earth feeding it information ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has completed the first artificial intelligence-planned drive on the surface of Mars, covering 807 feet across two separate sessions in December 2025. The achievement shifts ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has achieved a major first by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence rather than human operators. Credit: NASA. An AI just ...

In December, NASA took another small, incremental step towards autonomous surface rovers. In a demonstration, the Perseverance team used AI to generate the rover’s waypoints.

Imagine you're all alone, driving along in a rocky, unforgiving desert with no roads, no map, no GPS, and no more than one ...

NASA Used AI to Drive Its Perseverance Mars Rover for the First Time ...

Using high-resolution imagery from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the AI analyzed the bedrock and boulder fields. It processed the same data humans use, but it worked faster, stringing together ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has just made history by driving across Mars using routes planned by artificial intelligence instead of human operators. A vision-capable AI analyzed the same images and ...
