Robotics in Space Exploration

Robotics in space exploration involves the use of automated machines and devices to explore and study celestial bodies without needing human presence. These robots can perform tasks such as taking photographs, collecting samples, and conducting experiments in harsh environments, like Mars or on asteroids. They are equipped with sensors, cameras, and tools to gather data and transmit it back to Earth. Examples include rovers like NASA's Perseverance and robotic spacecraft like the Voyager probes. Robotics enhances our knowledge of the universe while ensuring the safety of astronauts and allowing for missions that would be challenging or impossible for humans to undertake directly.
