Editor’s note: When we send robotic submersibles and rovers to other worlds to search for life in remote and hostile environments, we’re going to our droids to be as smart […]
Mars rovers have teams of human experts on Earth telling them what to do. But robots on lander missions to moons orbiting Saturn or Jupiter are too far away to […]
On Friday, May 19, 2023, Impossible Sensing, along with a team of scientists and engineers from SETI Institute, NASA JPL, University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory and other institutions onboard […]
Scientists have used a human-occupied submersible to explore one of the Indian Ocean’s deepest and little-known spots, documenting its unique habitat and diverse marine life.
There is a massive, mineral-rich region in the Pacific Ocean—about twice the size of India—called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which has already been divided up and assigned to companies for […]
A team of scientists and engineers from the SETI Institute, Impossible Sensing, NASA JPL, and other institutions will test their innovative robotic laser system on a deep-sea expedition aboard the […]
How do you create a robot that can go places no one has ever seen before – on its own, without real-time human input? A team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion […]
The quest to find extraterrestrial life is a critical scientific endeavor with civilization-level implications. Icy moons in our solar system are promising targets for exploration because their liquid oceans make […]
Discovery of hydrothermal systems on the ocean floor in the late 1970s is regarded as one of the greatest scientific finds of the 20th century and has implications for the […]
Astrobiology.com Editor’s Note: as we start to send our robotic astrobiology explorers to the Jovian system to explore icy ocean worlds Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, the skills developed exploring (the […]
