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 possible ...

The control room is being designed to optimize operator performance during long shifts monitoring a rover on the moon. Researchers are studying factors like room layout, lighting, and break areas to ...

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.

Imagine monitoring a robot working more than 200,000 miles away on the lunar surface — a stressful job, and one that requires operators to be on the ball at all times while in small control room for ...
