Planetary robotics

Planetary robotics involves designing and deploying robotic systems to explore, analyze, and perform tasks on other planets and celestial bodies. These robots, such as rovers and landers, are equipped with instruments to gather data about the environment, geology, climate, and potential habitability. They operate autonomously or via remote control from Earth, navigating challenging terrains and conducting experiments that would be difficult or impossible for humans to perform directly. Planetary robotics is essential for advancing space exploration, providing critical scientific insights while reducing risks and costs associated with human missions.
