Robot in space
How are Robots Used in Space Exploration?
Historically, the role of robotics in space exploration has been significant due to the uninhabitable conditions of non-terrestrial planets in the solar system. According to AZO Robotics, a robot is defined as “a self-controlled device consisting of electronic, electrical or mechanical units that can function in place of a living agent.” In this post, you'll learn some basic history about robots in space exploration and 5 of the most popular robotics systems used in space history.
Before scientists began sending robots to space, animals such as dogs or monkeys were often sent to complete tasks and conduct experiments in order to increase human knowledge of conditions on other planets and the Moon.
As robotic technology has improved, more of these experiments and tasks have been delegated to robots rather than to living beings; in this way robotics preserves lives. While humans have set foot on the Moon, scientific knowledge of conditions on planets including Mars, Venus, Titan and Jupiter comes almost exclusively from exploration conducted by robots.
As technology progressively allows robots to reach space faster, humans are able to obtain significantly more data about conditions in space.

Space Robot 1: Sputnik 1The first robot ever sent to space was Sputnik 1, sent by the USSR on October 4, 1957, according to NASA. Sputnik 1 was the first artificial Earth satellite and the first object created by humans to orbit Earth. The launch of Sputnik 1 marked the beginning of the notorious “space race” between the United States and the USSR. Thereafter, engineers increasingly began constructing robots to be sent to non-terrestrial planets for a variety of purposes ranging from close-up photography of planets to determination of whether other planets sustain life.
Space Robot 2: Mariner 2 and 4According to Universe Today, on December 14, 1962, the American space probe Mariner 2 became the first robotic space probe to complete a successful Venus flyby.
Mariner 4, the first orbiter sent to space, then took the first proximal photos of Mars on July 14, 1965. While the role of landers is primarily to detect signs of life on planets, the role of orbiters is primarily to take photos for scientists to observe and analyze. Since the roles of these robots are different, orbiters and landers have frequently been sent to explore space in tandem.

Space Robot 3: Viking 1 and 2
On August 20, 1975, NASA’s Viking project commenced when Viking 1 was launched to explore Mars, according to NASA. Shortly thereafter, on September 9, 1975, an identical spacecraft by the name of Viking 2 was launched with the same mission. Both spacecrafts were equipped with the same robotic technology as Mariners 2 and 4 - a lander and an orbiter. The orbiters’ roles were to photograph Mars’ surface, while the landers were to land on the planet and collect data in order for scientists to learn more about whether life exists on Mars.
The orbiters from each spacecraft flew together, but the landers eventually separated to explore different regions of Mars’ surface.

Nearly a year later, on July 20, 1976, Viking lander 1 became the first United States spacecraft to land on the surface of Mars, specifically landing in a region known as Chryse Planitia. On September 3, 1976 the Viking 2 lander touched down at a different region of the planet, known as Utopia Planitia. While the Viking mission was only expected to last 90 days after each lander touched down, both landers overstayed beyond their designed lifetimes. Viking Orbiter 1 completed 1,489 orbits, ending its mission on August 7, 1980 while
Viking Orbiter 2 concluded its mission on July 25, 1978. Both landers were powered by radioisotope thermoelectric generators which enable them to transmit information to Earth for longer time spans. Viking Lander 1’s final transmission to Earth was on November 11, 1982 while Viking Lander 2’s last transmission was April 11, 1980.
Robots exited the solar system in 1977 when Voyagers 1 and 2 were launched to study the outer solar system. According to NASA, the two robots were designed to conduct close-up studies of Jupiter and Saturn, Saturn's rings, and both Jupiter and Saturn’s largest moon. The two robots have continued on this journey for over 40 years and are presently closer to Pluto than to Earth or the sun. It was not until August 2012 that Voyager 1 entered into interstellar space, while Voyager 2 eventually followed on November 5, 2018. Both robots are still communicating information via the Deep Space Network (DSN) currently.
Space Robot 5: DextreMore recently, the Canadian Space Association launched Dextre, a robotic arm designed to “install and replace small equipment such as exterior cameras or the 100-kg batteries used on the Space Station, replace defective components in the Station's electrical systems and
test new tools and robotics techniques.
” According to the Canadian Space Agency, Dextre is technically the most advanced space robot constructed thusfar.
Dextre is currently operated by ground control teams from both the Canadian Space Association and NASA. Dextre’s hands alone are complete with a motorized wrench, a retractable power connector, data and video connection, camera and lights. Dextre’s hands are designed to be able to grip bulky and fragile equipment alike, making Dextre adaptable to varying conditions and projects. In 2008, Dextre was installed on the International Space Station and then launched onboard Space Shuttle Endeavour.
According to CNET, some robots currently exploring space include Dextre, Voyager 1 and 2, Hubble Space Telescope, Cassini, Robonaut 2, Rosetta, Dawn, Mars Express, Curiosity, Opportunity, 2001 Mars Odyssey, Advanced Composition Explorer, Hayabusa 2, Juno, Mars Orbiter Mission, New Horizons and more to come.
Benefits of developing and sending robots to space include enriched scientific knowledge, conservation of human life, and advances in artificial intelligence technology. As technology progresses, robots increasingly serve as humans’ contemporary window to the world beyond Earth.

Why Do We Send Robots To Space?

We can send robots to explore space without having to worry so much about their safety. Of course, we want these carefully built robots to last. We need them to stick around long enough to investigate and send us information about their destinations. But even if a robotic mission fails, the humans involved with the mission stay safe.
Sending a robot to space is also much cheaper than sending a human. Robots don’t need to eat or sleep or go to the bathroom. They can survive in space for many years and can be left out there—no need for a return trip!
Plus, robots can do lots of things that humans can’t. Some can withstand harsh conditions, like extreme temperatures or high levels of radiation.
Robots can also be built to do things that would be too risky or impossible for astronauts.
What are some of the robots NASA is currently developing?
You’ve probably heard of some of NASA’s robots: the Mars rovers, like Perseverance and Curiosity. But those are just a few of the most famous robots. NASA engineers are working on new robots all the time.
NASA has been investigating Mars with rovers since the Pathfinder mission landed in 1997 and deployed a small rover called Sojourner. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech.
One of the latest robots is nicknamed A-PUFFER, short for Autonomous Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robot. The inspiration for this lightweight, two-wheeled adventurer came from origami designs. The robot can flatten itself out and duck down to investigate tight spots.
Watch this video to see Puffer in action! Video credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech
Then there’s BRUIE, the Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration.
This robot can float in the water and roll its wheels along the underside of an icy surface, all while taking pictures and collecting data.
Scientists hope to someday use a robot like this to search for signs of life on icy bodies elsewhere in the solar system. For example, the underground oceans of Jupiter’s moon Europa or Saturn’s moon Enceladus.

Are all of NASA’s robots rovers?
Certainly not! Take a look at this robot, called Hedgehog.
The spiky, cube-like Hedgehog robot. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Stanford
This spiky cube of a robot is being developed by NASA with Stanford University and MIT. Hedgehog is designed to explore small bodies, such as asteroids or comets. These have very little gravity and extremely rough terrain. Instead of rolling, Hedgehog hops and tumbles.
What if it lands upside-down? No big deal. It can operate on any of its sides.
It could even get itself out of a deep crater using a tornado-like maneuver that launches the robot into the air.
Does NASA make any robots that look like humans?
Yes! These are called humanoid robots. There are some tasks for which a robot that moves more like a human might be best. For example, we might like a humanoid robot to help prepare a future human settlement on Mars. With such tasks in mind, NASA’s Johnson Space Center has developed a robot named R5, or Valkyrie.
The humanoid robot, called R5, or Valkyrie. Image credit: NASA
This electric robot relies on cameras, sensors, lots of motors, and two computers. These tools help R5 to navigate its surroundings and move like a human.
Whether walking, tumbling, flying or rolling, robots have a major role to play in space exploration!

Photos and videos, as well as a 3D model of the robot, were posted on the website of the state corporation. Earlier it was reported about plans to launch Teledroid on the ISS in 2024. The experiments that are supposed to be carried out with it at the station will allow to get the groundwork for creating robots that will work on the Moon and circumlunar orbit.
The "teledroid" outwardly resembles a human torso. It will function in avatar mode, copying the movements of an operator in a special suit, located on the ISS or in the Mission Control Center. The robot will be able to perform some typical operations on its own. As Dmitry Rogozin, the general director of Roscosmos, later said, the footage showed a dimensional layout made of plastic - polyamide. With its help, specialists should check how best to place the robot in the ship during transportation to the ISS, as well as conduct ergonomic studies when performing joint operations with astronauts. According to Rogozin, a model is also being made for testing in the hydro laboratory, and the current sample should appear in 2023 in order to pass tests before being sent to the station, including on a vibration stand and for electromagnetic compatibility. In 2019The robot Fedor has already been in orbit this year. On the Soyuz MS-14 spacecraft, in the central seat of the ship's commander, he arrived at the ISS, where he was tested by Russian cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin and Alexander Skvortsov.
The robot worked with a screwdriver, wrenches and docked electrical connectors, as well as turning on a drill and wiping its hands with a towel. In addition, the cosmonauts interrogated Fyodor, asking more than 30 questions and recording his answers on video. FEDOR (callsign Skybot F-850) is an anthropomorphic rescue robot developed by Androidnaya Tekhnika NPO and the Advanced Research Foundation by order of the Russian Emergencies Ministry.

"Roskosmos" for the first time showed a new generation of anthropomorphic robot "Teledroid", designed for work in outer space. Photos and videos, as well as a 3D model of the robot, were posted on the state corporation's website.
Plans were previously reported to launch Teledroid to the ISS in 2024. The experiments that are supposed to be carried out with him at the station will provide a groundwork for creating robots that will work on the Moon and lunar orbit.
The Teledroid looks like a human torso. It will function in avatar mode, copying the movements of an operator in a special suit, located on the ISS or in the Mission Control Center. The robot will be able to perform some typical operations independently.
As Dmitry Rogozin, general director of Roskosmos, later said, the footage showed an overall layout made of plastic - polyamide. With its help, specialists should check how best to place the robot in the ship during transportation to the ISS, as well as conduct ergonomic studies when performing joint operations with astronauts.
