JPL estimates that FLOAT robots could glide along at 0.5 meters per second or faster, allowing the system to move many tons of lunar materials or payloads every day.

NASA has big plans to construct a levitating robot train on the Moon, allowing for easier distribution of supplies and materials.

NASA is considering building a railway on the moon that uses levitating robots to move payloads around the lunar surface.

The long-term vision for RoboBall is to make it a fully autonomous and remotely deployable exploration tool. One day, this robot could be launched from lunar landers to map steep crater walls on the ...

Firefly Aerospace has completed its first lunar lander and shipped the spacecraft to JPL for testing ahead of a launch late this year.

NASA has unveiled how its moon mining robot or In-Situ Resource Utilization Pilot Excavator (IPEx) will work on the lunar surface. This robotic system will support lunar digging, making it ...

We compare and contrast NASA's trio of CADRE lunar rovers and its IPEx excavator to examine how this army of autonomous robots could pave the way for a sustained human presence on the moon and beyond.

A trio of team-working lunar rovers have been put through their paces at the famous "Mars Yard" at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ahead of their launch to the moon later this year or early ...
