Robotics for ISRU

Robotics for In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) involves using specialized robots to extract and process local materials on planets or moons, such as extracting water from lunar ice or producing fuel from Mars’ atmosphere. These robots perform tasks that would be difficult, dangerous, or inefficient for humans, enabling sustainable exploration and habitation of space. They can operate remotely, self-repair, and work in challenging environments, helping to reduce the need to bring resources from Earth. Ultimately, ISRU robotics are essential for creating self-sufficient space colonies, saving costs, and expanding human presence beyond Earth.
