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 ...

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.

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 Curiosity rover has assembled a string of chemical evidence from ancient Martian rocks that, taken together, builds the strongest circumstantial case yet for conditions that could have ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has found the largest organic molecules ever detected on Mars. The discovery was made in ...

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 ...

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.

What innovative rovers can be developed to advance Mars surface exploration? This is what a recent study presented at the Joint Meeting of the Europlanet Science Congress and the Division for ...
